Actually, I think it is a BSP 1/4 which is quite different from a
1/4 npt. That is what I am trying to clarify.<br>

oil fitting that goes into the block is 1/4" good old
American standard pipe thread. Hope you don't have a
problem because I think the fitting should have come out
fairly easily. Mark L<br>

It turns out Summit had the right adapter for the kit, the
