Does anyone know if there are alternatives to Stacks standard 1/8npt temp sensor? Want to try and use an existing M12 entry without an adaptor, I know there are M12x1.5 temp sensors out there but can't work out if they'll work with a Stack dash (without buying and trying)

Thanks

typically these temp sensors are all PT100 elements that have a changing resistance over temperatures. Why not using an adaptor ? It is hardly avoidable when building an ultima.

I needed one at the weekend and ended up making an adaptor out of the existing blanking stud.

Drilled a hole through the middle, tapped with 1/8 NPT and milled a 13mm spanner head. Job done.

It probably took no longer than finding one on the web.
