Huh? not sure I understand you...
The block is threaded at M16x1.5, so the T piece will have a male thread and 1 hole which are M16, and annother hole which is where the fun starts. The gauge sender is threaded at M10x1 but nobody makes that kind of t piece.
The nearest I get, is M16 male, with M16 and 1/8npt holes...so I guess I need a 1/8npt=M10 adaptor aswell!

What I've got is an M16 to M10 reducer, then an M10 T piece.
