Hi,

Just purchased a Spa Duel gauge for my classic but just wondering what was the best way to fit the temp sensor? Is there a modified hose i can get with a 1/8 thread so the sensor can fit in that or do i have to fit it somewhere else?

Gav you will cut the pipe and fit an adaptor tube in between, place like demon tweeks should be able to supply this.

or drill and tap the thermostat housing 1/8" npt

 

I have as blue anodised adapter with that thread that you fit in the top radiator hose spare. You can have it for 15 plus postage. Pm me if interested.

 

Arh ha i thought there must be a simple way of doing it , Ill get one ordered, dont suppose any one knows the diameter of the top hose do they

 

Look at the post above yours: matey is offering you one, the right size, cheap.

I'd ****** his hand off.

Oh, and budget for a new top-hose: once you've finished manipulating your old one, it may be fekked. That's what happened to mine: fitted a sender like you are doing, top hose split two days later

 

It's already fitted in a silicone hose the right size aswell

 

i wouldnt bodge hoses fitting adaptor tubes and introducing more potential leak areas with more hose clip joins. Just drill and tap the thermostat housing, it will look better, give a more acurate "engine temperature" as apposed to "top hose temp", and ultimatly will be more reliable.
