Gents,
I'm struggling to find a way to fit the temperature sensor into the cooling system on my car.
The sensor has a 1/8npt thread.
I've been looking for hose adaptors but I can't find one that goes small enough.
I want to plumb it in before the stat, which on my 2003 R1 install means into 19mm coolant pipes.
I seem to remember seeing a picture in an archive of a sender mounted into the metal outputs from the head on the R1, but that involved welding and I
have no access to any welding gear.
Any suggestions?
You may be referring to my setup here under cooling
This was brazed but it's not a very elegant solution!
Regards

i've got a length of metal cooling pipe with a 1/8" npt boss (think it may be a caterham item). Not sure what diameter the pipe is but if
it's any good you can have it. i'll measure it tonight.

Cheers Sy.
Demon Thieves do them but they don't do a 19mm one (the closest is 16mm) and they're not cheap....

Had a similar problem fitting a coolant temperature sensor when I converted to injection. I ended up turning up a lump of ally to fit in line with a heater hose and fitted the sensor to that . Works fine.
