Oil Pressure Gauge

I just purchased the Unobtainium 2.0 panel for my 1999 GL1500SE and would like to have a Voltage gauge and an Oil pressure gauge.

For the Oil pressure gauge, I will need to add a street T-fitting between the factory Oil pressure sensor and the engine. Can anyone tell me what thread is on the Oil pressure sensor? Is it a NPT, BSPT, or something else? What size?

These are the gauges that I'm considering. They are not an exact match to the factory speedometer and tachometer gauges, but they are similar. I really like the combination of digital and analog in one gauge.

Nice looking gauges, but I don't see anywhere that they are intended for outdoor, or wet environment use. It appears they are inside vehicles and trucks only. You may want to call and check on that.

I emailed GlowShift gauges and asked if there gauges were somewhat waterproof. I received a reply that emphatically stated that they were not.
Below is the response from GlowShift.

Run a 1/8inch pipe tap in the threads and then u can put in standard fitting. I did that and no leaks and tight fit.
