temp sender
I have had a bit of trouble fitting a temp gauge sender. I have removed the inter cooler and it seems that the grub bold above cylinder 3 is about 2mm too small.
Are there different sizes and Im unlucky to have the wrong one? Does anyone know what I am looking for (car is 2002 wrx).

Thanks alcazar, without being think am i measuring the size of the bolt using my imperial sockets? (always knew they would be useful one day)
Edit: just googled and the pro sport senders are 1/8.
Its fitting into into the block that i am having trouble with. i brought this from matty and it came from a subaru so im thinking there might be two sizes and I have the wrong one?

@winston69 this is a good place to start : link. The intercooler is easy to remove, the alternator a little more tricky but both can be done in an afternoon if you have the right tools.
I am trying to workout what part I need. In the pics below, the adapter bolt I have (17mm bolt) is just slightly to large. Are there two sizes of bolt that fit above cylinder 3 ?

I bought everything I needed to fit Prosport gauges from the guys at R Spec performance.
If your sender is for a Prosport it should be 1/8 npt.
Tell R spec you need an adaptor to go above cylinder 3 for a Scoob and they'll send you the right one. It'll only be a few quid.

I dont want to buy the same adapter that I already the gauges came from this car : link
Is there any reason why my block has a smaller thread ? is it possible i have a sump plug or something else?

Thanks for all the help.
Rescue Dude was correct and part now fitted, it seems that I had a sump plug which was marginally too large.
This job would have been easier if I could have got hold of a lambda socket that fitted the temp sender (14mm) or the adaptor (23mm).
