My therapist asked me one time "Do you ever think of harming or killing yourself"
I answered "No, only others"

Seriously though I don't have a therapist but after this thread I will probably need one.

Per the pics, basic rib for retention and jubilee clips.

Oh and yeah the grounding post, most sensor switches seem to be single pole.
If you're looking for an off-the-shelf adapter, Autometer 2283 should do it. Not exactly cheap though $50~60.

1.5"/38mm
3/8NPT

Who said anything about far cheaper? I was going to make one for you and an extra for just in case but if I had to sell these things they would be every bit of 50 bucks unless I ran like 25 or 50. I could run 100 and get it way down. Yours and mine aren't going to cost anything but is considered research and development LOL.

I lived there for a few years when I was very young, but as the UK encompasses Scotland, you'll find many words like that are just common vernacular.

Interesting. The closest I've ever been to Scotland is a bottle of Glenlivet
