i'll have to ask my friend, but you're looking at about 35-40 bucks shipped... if you can find the correct fittings at home depot you can make your own. sometimes the threads are just a little different than the stock thread size. on mine (i ordered a kit) we had to tap the sender fitting just like a tiny amount to make it fit right. knowing that you may have to tap it and what not may incourage you to buy the t fittings at home depot and lines somewhere and put it together yourself. it's easy to do, and will be the exact same brass fittings you would get in a kit. if i had known all this before hand that is what i would have done for sure. it will cost a few bucks for all the fittings and a few bucks for the lines. usually the oil return lines people provide are too short anyway, so i had to get another one. the oil feed lines and everything else was fine though.
something else to look at: the sender unit's location has a second little hole just below it that is plugged up with a screw or alan bolt or something like that. i'm not 100% sure, but i think you can use that hole also, just in case you dont want to tap your original hole. like i said i'm not sure, so you have to check it out. maybe someone else knows.
