Oil Pres/Temp Guages the low tech or high tech way

Does anyone know what dia/pitch the thread is for the Oil Pressure Switch sender unit for the Oil Pressure dummy light?

I want to find an Oil Pressure/Temp sender that will fit and interface it with a couple LED strips that piggy back on the existing Guages to give proportional Oil Pressure and Oil Temperature readings.

I dont like idiot lights that give you no indication until its already too late and I'd like to fit them without having to do major dash modifications or loose console slots to guages.

I'm thinking something like the pic below where the LEDs light up progressively as the readings get higher.

I also wonder if the OBS data may already have that info, in which case I may take a whole other approach instead and interface with a PC tablet in place of my double din radio.
