M20x1.5 SS Hollow Tube - Oil Filter Adapter / Thermal Block Bypass













































I got my machinist to knock me up a bypass for my thermal block (oil warmer/cooler).
I worked out the thread was an m20x1.5, just like the oil filters.
BUT for some reason I think the tapped threads in the oil pump were slightly off OR I broke some threads previously and when removing the original bolt it pulled the threads and ruined the rest.

So the hunt for a m20x1.5 tap begun, I didn't need some special HSS bit that costs $80.
I managed to find a cheap set that has all the way to M24 in it.











































Quality of the set seems surprisingly good, its from BORUM importers -
