I am constantly reminded how stupid it was to sell my old TR6R, back forty years ago! I'm riding a 78 Bonnie now, almost as good as the old 64. Now I've got to look for this oil pressure gauge kit! Thanks!
When you say "3/8" are you measuring the O.D. of the fitting? A fitting references the inner diameter not outer. All the fittings I have seen and that is on my 78 T140 is 1/8" NPS and it has the same boss. 1/8" NPS or NPT measures for reference ~3/8" outer diameter but its actual size refers to the I.D. of the fitting which is 1/8" I would like to buy one of these but this 3/8" you are mentioning doesn't make any sense. Even in your video it appears to be a 1/8" NPS fitting not a 3/8" Also regardless of straight or tapered pipe fitting are all 27 TPI are you sure its a 24 or the 26 TPI you mention? Please explain.
There are different types of threads, not just American threads. This bike uses 3/8" British Straight Pipe - 26 TPI. The kits we sell come with 3/8 BSP, 1/8" NPS & 1/8" NPT
Was your ‘68 tapered or strait thread? I don’t have a thread pitch gauge but I’m reading in a forum that most all triumph 650s should be strait thread. I just bought the gauge for my ‘71 TR6 650

Nice kit, and a beautiful old TR6!
On my '67 Lightning that's where the tach drive is.
Would you have the fuel taps for the 1959 BSA 650 golden flash?

Why don`t you remove the old sticker on the Speedo lense?

Is that an oil filled gauge?
yes

Mine was straight, later was tapered I believe
