Temperature gauge

[neal1980]

I have installed a new temperature gauge but have ballsed up a bit I've put the sender in the side of the swirlpot which is why I thought it wasnt working then after the thermostat opened all was well.

The original sender for the gauge is unused now does anyone know the thread size for this, Im hoping I can get some sort of brass adapter to suit.

Or any other idears of suitable places pre stat.

Thanks

I drilled the middle of mine out and tapped it, you could even weld the end up, and now using the RR sender with a variable resistor to get it right :-)

I have taken the sender out and a brass bit. There looks to be a nut on the manifold (that the brass thing) screwed in too. Does this nut come out or is it fixed, cant really see down there but can get a socket on but its tight so before I give it death

This nut is really tight you sure it comes out...lol

Im gonna have move the coilpacks out the way and get a bar in there!

so its basically in 3 pieces the nut (im trying to remove), brass housing then sensor.
