Aftermarket gauge sender adapter sizes

Ok, does anyone know what size sender adapters I need for:
4AGE Water temp,
4AGE Oil pressure.
The 3/8" adapter supplied with the water temp gauge sensor didn't fit (it's about 1mm too wide), so It's a good bet the oil pressure one won't fit either.
So, before I go out and order every size imaginable in 1/8" NPT -> metric, does anyone know what sizes are needed?
The gauges are spitfire, but that shouldn't be relevant, they both have 1/8" NPT sized senders (as most/all gauges of these types).
PS: mounting and wiring was a piece of cake.
PPS: I'd like to at least have the water temp working by the end of the month (sprints).

Can't drive a car with empty cooling system.
According to VDO, all toyotas have:
Water temp sender - M16x1.5
Oil pressure sender - 1/8 NPT

can confirm 100% that the oil sender is 1/8NPT - was the same on my 2T even and on my 4AGE!
be careful with it though - as you may find the sender that goes in the hole is too wide and will foul on the block! my autometer one did so i mounted it elsewhere in my oil cooler plumbing.
not sure on the water one, i had a special made up by meridian motorsport for me...using an alloy speedflow fitting tigged to the original housing (coz the thread was knackered)
