Earth for ETB water sensor
I have bought a water temp sensor from ETB For my zetec engine. The sensor only has 1 terminal on it so the it earths through the body of the sensor.
The Zetec has a plastic thermostat housing. So what is the best way to earth the sensor?

Ive cut a little V groove on one of the hex flats and solderd an earth on. Ive then put a ring terminal under one of the three stat mounting bolts.
Edit just dont get it to hot !

Looks like a dash board gauge sensor to me, not an EFI one

He'd be a bit stuck if he bought an EFI sensor when it's going to be wired to an ETB gauge!
