oil pressure adapter for cheap

[nacho55]

Probably not lighting the world on fire with this mod, but I found a really cheap alternative to an 11.00 16mm to 1/8 NPT fitting, for an ls swap
This came to me when I changed out the pressure sensor on my buddies 2005 Tahoe, which are a pain to get out, none the less, after I swapped in the new one I kept his old part and decided to take it apart, when I did I noticed that it is a pretty thick piece of aluminum and figured I would give it a try, so digging out my tap 1/8 NPT and to see which bit I needed to drill it requires an “R” size bit, which when you look it up is an 21/64 bit, which I just so happened to have and it was actually sharp, I drilled and tapped it slowly as I haven’t had much luck with aluminum lately, and ureka you have a cheap fitting adapter.
So not a great pic but here is what you have when you gut the sensor,
Hope this helps anyone looking to save a buck , considering my truck project has costed exactly double of what I figured on everything I have made or bought so far.
