I can probably back the nut off and take it to the hardware store tomorrow, I was just hoping someone might know off the top of their head. Thanks for the help.

Here are some photos of a NOS 60 lb oil pressure gauge. If I am following you correctly, the nut on the outside is to hold the gauge to the small tin. That is all the threads on the outer side are for.

The inside is where the factory line with the compression fitting /farrel nut would thread into.

If you found a fitting that would thread on the outside with the nut, there would be nothing to stop oil from leaking.


I hope this helps and I am following what you are asking for.
