Hi,

Anyone know where I can get a Smiths mechanical water temp sender and cable to suit a xflow? Apparently the ford OE ones won't work with this gauge.

Thanks
Jon

Do you mean the capillary type or the electric type ? Mag owners club may be able to help

It's the capillary type I believe. There is a small section of cable still attached that has a piece of wire with a coil around it.

Ah bugger - just took it apart and it looks like it should all be one connected unit. The cable doesn't come off at the back and runs into the unit. I guess it's toast once the cable is cut.

The capillary type is filled with a liquid or gas (can't remember which) that when heated increases the pressure moving the needle around the gauge , Not supposed to be dismantled . Speedy Cables repair Smiths instruments ,

Use an inline adapter in by-pass or top hose.

As britishtrident above says, there is a boss in the top hose of my crossflow for the temp sender. Used to be a capillary guage, I've now gone all posh and digital!

not cheap but available - Link

Thanks, I'll see if Speedy Cables can repair, if not I'll add in an electrical one which is cheaper. My block has a connection for the temp sensor just below the top elbow on the head.
