Bosses and sensor mounts

[Andy-No-Knee]

Anyone know where I can get mounts to place the sensors in?

 

I have EGT, and I want to attach it to the 6th runner on the HKS manifold (single) but I need to get a boss mount the right size then get it welded on.

Oil temp (for the auto box) I need a small block that will fit in line, fill with oil and take the sensor in.

Water temp, what I'm after is not the ebay special where you have to cut a hose and place a unit in as I have a water bypass kit - but one where I can screw the sensor into a mount as there is a boss already fitted to the hard top pipe of the bypass kit.

Drill the turbine housing, tap 1/8" BSP and I can supply a suitable stainless steel adaptor to take a 3mm probe. I can also supply Inconel probes in 3 mm OD.

 

Take the pan off the box drill and weld on an adaptor to suit the sensor.

 

Not sure what you mean about the water temp stuff??

Thanks Chris, its the adaptors I'm after....do you sell them or just the probes?

 

Water temp - I have a water bypass kit that takes a feed from the water pipe at the rear of the engine and brings it to the top rad hose. The top rad hose is a metal pipe with a housing already welded on and I need an adaptor to make the sensor fit the housing.

 

With the SS adaptor for the EGT sensor - what thread/depth does the sensor need to be?

 

Also, do I have to use the sensors that came with the gauges or can I use any sensors, ie ones from you.

An EGT probe is just that, basically a thick piece of wire type thing, usually of 3 mm OD. The fitting uses an olive to clamp and seal the probe so the right amount sticks in the exhaust gas stream. You can use any K type probe with 99% of EGT gauges. Water temp sensor and oil temp sensor need to match the gauges or they may not work right, or even be damaged..
