Default Wye or tee for oil pressure switch/sending unit install

Does anyone have a ready source, supply, or part number for a viable (metric thread?) "wye" or "tee" that could be screwed into the oil pump housing and allow both the factory oil pressure switch and a gauge sending unit to be installed? It looks like this might be even easier and neater than a sandwich adapter, if available.
Thanks!

Metric fittings are tough to come by. We run equipment from Japan, Italy, Germany, the UK and even Finland. The fittings run the gamut from British parallel pipe to Britsh taper to NPT to JIC to metric, often all on the same fitting. The only metric tees we have are JIC by metric. I think your best bet would be to use a metric to NPT adapter at the block, an NPT tee, then an NPT to metric adapter to the OEM pressure sender. The aftermarket sender will be NPT so that should be the easy part. You should take the OEM sender out and bring it to a hydraulic hose supplier. If anyone will have the fittings, it would be them.
