Default Oil pressure switch relocate.

I am going to attempt to repair the EBCM, code C1214, and at the same time I will be pulling the intake on my "new" 2002 to do the oil switch and put in the relocate.
I purchased the suggested fittings for the relocate but when I screw the switch into the adapter it bottoms out in the fitting and the gasket does not 'crush'.
Any one come across this before?
Thanks,
Joe

Thanks for the docs.
The male threads on the switch are 16mm x 1.5 and the 90 degree fitting from Amazon is 3/8 female pipe thread, theoretically they are not compatible.
I assume you had no problem with leakage?
I stock that 90 degree fitting in my store and I make my own hydraulic hoses. I will check it out tomorrow.
Thanks,
Joe
