Please refer to the pictures. I'm having trouble finding a brass oil filter adapter to fit the aluminum replica that I made.
The first picture is what I milled. It's 0.5" thick. The second and third are of where I want to go.
I'm unable to locate a flared brass 1/2" NPT thread that will allow me to drill and tap for a 1/8" NPT thread as pictured in the second pic. Any help appreciated.
Thank you

Am I understanding correctly that what you want is just a brass piece that's 1/2" NPT on the OD and 1/8" NPT on the ID?

McMaster Carr has a number of options here so describe more clearly please why nothing they have will work.

If this is for a spin on oil filter, those don't have a tapered thread. You should be able to buy or make that piece.

If for some reason it is a tapered pipe thread you can make or modify a pipe plug to do what you want.

He asked the same vague question over on HSM.
We did not know what he meant over there either.

What thread is your oil filter? What is a "flared brass 1/2" NPT thread"? Is it a flare fitting on one side and a 1/2 NPT on the other? If so where does the oil filter thread on?

If you look at the third photo the print says Harley - Davidson.

Yeah, boat stuff.

[Unless it's a Buell. Are they still selling those?]
[Just checked - yes]

Insufficient data.

Further input required.

Can not compute.

Heretic! Burn the Unbeliever!

[Small note - during the year I spent as academic staff in MIT's Aero-Astro department (circa 1999), I spent a bit of time helping some Buell staff in the Wright wind tunnel, adjusting some of the aero bits on a new bike. I may have influenced their intake ram, but no way I can say for sure]
