Europa-List: oil pressure switch for engine hour meter

Has anyone in UK fitted an oil-pressure switch to control when an 
engine hours meter runs? If so, where did you get it?

A discussion with Skydrive indicates that the obvious place to mount 
it is in place of part number 641733, the 10mm x 1mm plug screw which 
covers the port on the oil pump that would feed a hydraulic governor. 
However, Skydrive are not sure that it will be easy to find an oil 
pressure switch with that thread.

I have spotted one on an Australian supplier's website but can't find 
anything similar in UK.

It's also important to note that what I want is a "normally-open" 
switch - that is the opposite of the usual type which is 
"normally-closed" and opens with increasing pressure to extinguish 
the oil-pressure warning light.

I'd like to avoid the need to turn up an adaptor for a BSP or NPT 
thread switch.

regards

Rowland
