I have the dynon oil pressure transducer pictured belowed with 1/8NPT threads. I have a 1/8" aeroquip hose with a fitting on the end of it shown below running to the transducer. As I sit here typing this, I believe the elbow fitting is an AN2. How can I join these two?

I was looking for an AN2 female and 1/8NPT female coupler, but I cant find one.

Several options:

1) Use the manifold Vans suggests... use regular AN nipple or elbow on one side for the hose, screw transducer into the other hole in the manifold.

2) First NPT coupler (AN910) then AN nipple into that (AN816).. connect the hose to the nipple.
 
you know, sometimes I try and make things more complicated than they need to be. I just ordered the manifold. I dont know why I didnt want to do that in the first place.
 
I really don't understand why Dynon uses old-school VDO transducers. There are newer, smaller, more robust transducers available that can be bolted directly to the engine without fear of failure. Would be a cleaner install definitely.
