The pressure switch on my S4 has sheared at the bolt ,damn thing was only hand tight when it bust , I have temporary fitted an old spark plug in the hole as its same thread so i can use the bike , seems Ducati Thailand dont stock it so i will order one from UK which will take a month to get here if not stolen in the post but are there any cars that use it so i might try some local parts store GM, FIAT etc or the generic make of the switch ..also i may try repair with steel epoxy but not holding my breath

The oil pressure switch is an M10x1 thread.

IIRC the same switch is used on some Fiats.

The "Alternatives to expensive Ducati parts" thread here:
http://www.ducatimonsterforum.org/index.php?topic=698.0
May have the info.

VW has switches that will fit also, but the connector is different.  Most car switches are set at a lower pressure.
