No it will be a metric thread. I think it's M14x1.25 or 1.5

I thought 1/8 npt was correct for the xe but you will need a T peice so you can have your warning light and guage. I need said t peice too.

The inner thread on the sender looks to be about right if you can remove the end. Youll want some crimplugs to join toin the sender and some eyed ones for the guage + im guessing two 7or8mm nuts.

this is the adapter you need

the top 2 prongs are for the light , so 12v on the left and earth the right for the light to come on with the ignition

bottom ones i cant remember all so take a pic of instruction if stuck, but middle one goes to ground to, can use the same ground as the light one, one of the other 2 goes to the sender, thats all i can remember
