Default PLEASE HELP ME get this oil crap to work!

OK so i pcked up the Gredy oil plate "thing" and im trying to put my oil inlet line in, my electrical oil temp gauge and my electrical oil pressure gauge......AND NONE of them fit in the oprts.....do i need something else here. Has anyone gotten this to work? ITS LIKE the threads are different. i thought this was to be plug and play. PLEASE HELP?!
As you can see in the pics i get them to thread in about 1 or 2 threads and thats it. ive turned it with my hand but should i crank on it to try to get them to keep going?

Mine and GSSR's both fit without any problems. Have you tried each thing in each hole?

i bought a different kind off of ebay, but they should be 1/8NPT fittings. Take it to a hardware store, and start screwin fasteners in there till you find one that fits, then buy an adapter

Good for you. That is really strange though, because I am running Autometer gauges as well and the oil temp sensor fit in without a problem.

really?............thats fooking weird man.
well i guess if something did fit that it would be odd for this project. NOTHING has gone my way so far. BUT the turbo is in S2IM is going in today along with the gauges and all i have left is IC and exhaust pipe and mabye a few vac lines.
OH and wait for a FOOKING gauge pod that fits my car to come in. ive had 2 trys and nothing but wrong colors and improper fits. lets shoot for 3 eh?
