I've seen other threads about folks doing this in the past. Great to see someone doing it again. I've found 2 VDO sensors that are very close to stock (electrically) in 1/8" NPT and come with a 3/8" donut adapter that works fairly well (there's an old thread on here about it). But nothing beats the stock sensors when paired up with the stock gauges. I'll definitely keep this in mind if I want to swap back to a stock sensor. This is clearly the best option.
