Help please
Fitted gauges in the inside of the car yest now tonight thought id connect them up mechanically .
Boost easy on to other 2 a different story Oil temp and pressure , now I got the bolt out with hex on top of number 3 easy but putting one back in ! It's impossible Any advice please |
are you using the one on 3rd cylinder?
|
Yes mate but so bloody akward and need yet another adapter or nut as one supplied is way too small.
Peed off with it |
Yes, it needs an adaptor, your gauge supplier ought to be able to supply, what gauges do you have?
I put mine in by screwing a plastic ballpoint pen barrel temporarily into the adaptor, which gave me enough reach to start it in the threads, then finished it off with a socket. It has PTFE tape wrapped round it and doesn't need forcing home. Sender was long enough to start it, then spanner. |
Try and use some long tongs, is this the sender unit adapter your trying to fit?
|
It won't go in as I took it out looked like had been paint marked
Like some Bolts are but just won't spin in ****tin it now incase I've ruined threads |
Yes just took nut out to see fit what I had would fit and it wouldn't so went to put it straight back in as obviously I'll be waiting for other bolt adapter and it won't go
|
Bought the gauges ages ago off here shadow gauges look nice but struggling mechanically ere
|
|
Are you sure its the right size? LMA motorsport are good people to deal with when buying sender unit adapters.

Does the black plastic t hose adapter in pic pull out? |
It original one I'm putting back mate as didn't no o needed one for this too but after removing it was way too big a hole for little thread I had to put in?
No jokes please lol |
Lool
Ye it can be removed, thats the T for crank case & PCV. I cant comment further as you have got me aswell. Hopefully someone else might know more about it. Sorry geez |
no worry matey
thanks for your time |
Do you think I've cross treaded first thread and that why won't go in?
|
Did you say there is paint on the threads? Sure it's not threadlock?
Try cleaning it off gently with a sharp instrument before refitting, DO use PTFE tape. If you put PTFE tape on, you can usually turn the first few threads by hand, then it needs a spanner, with not much force, but is beyong hand tightening. If you took the sender out of one adaptor, are you sure your new threads are the same as the sender? |
Hi I'm waiting on adaptor mate as until I took bolt out didn't realise one I had was way to small .
So it's original bolt as piccy. Waiting for adaptor now and leaving bolt out as new one may go in easy ( he says praying and with crossed fingers toes etc) But think the plastic t in pic made me scew at wrong angle so I'll remove this then refit . Group prayer please |
