Hello. Just got a package from Vulcan Performance. 1/2" big lige kit for my 98.5 24v. I got the 90 degree fittings in both ends, vp44 end has tapped port for fuel pressure sensor. That thread shoud be 1/8 npt right?? Was wondering what that one fitting is in the picture, the one with plastic cap on! It says 1/8 bsp in the cap. I was remembering that those two have different angle in threads. So can I put a needle valve directly to that 90 degree fitting closest to vp44?? I have also 18" long grease gun hose to get the sender away from vp. Can you give me some ideas to assemble the kit? Thanks and greetings from Finland!

No idea what that is?

I'll see if it's on mine. It might go on filter ahead of the sweeping 90.

 

Bsp British standerd pipe.

If I have understanded right bsp and npt are different and shouldn't use together! So 90 deg fitting with tapped 1/8npt thread is better to put in filter housing? 

Yes different 

 

Not sure what you mean 90 deg. fitting at filter housing.

 

I'll look at what I did at filter housing. Its been awhile. I've been busy chasing clutch parts

Installing wasn't a success, those two jic adapters were different size. Smaller fits both vp and ff housing but the other one is too big, I think maybe M14 and it should be M12!

Sorry I haven't looked at mine yet. The auto parts store might or a specialty fluid connectors store will have what you.

 

You could return the Vulcan parts and just go build it in the specialty stores parking lot for half price.

Thanks for your help. If have to take a trip to a bigger city and check couple of hydraulic shops! Atleast I got the filter changed:thumb1:

Mine used the long sweep 90 on the filter and the hard 90 on the the VP. Got it tapped for a shrader valve for a test gauge. I cut.a tapped coupling about midway in the line for a gauge. 

 

I dont remember seeing anything like you have with the BSP on it. Did mine about 9 years ago though.

I haven't been any help really and never did get around to looking at how I put mine together 

 

I do have the hard90 at the pump with my pressure gauge coming off it snubbed to mechanical gauge.

Not sure what I put on the filter end.

You would be hard pressed to be able to save money by going elsewhere for parts. If you need something custom or not available he could probably make it for you.
