Temperature sender
I remember having a car which used a small brass temperature sender 1/8 NPT, which, instead of a regular spade or bullet conector, it had a brass disc
which took the spade connector sideways, and allowed it to rotate 360 to connect in any direction.
Anyone know of such a beast? it would solve a little problem for me and the raceline water rail....
Cheers.
Pete.

I bought the exact item the other day from Jayar in Ipswich
It was an intermotor part.. like this....

but I can't guarantee it is that one - the site doesn't give the thread size....

Thanks for the responses guys, will check out the leads...
Its for my temperature gauge, are you using a megasquirt, cos I understand they can be calibrated to match sender resistances....
Rgds.

I am using mine for the signal to megasquirt but I am not entirely sure it is accurate enough.....
once the engine is warmed up megatune shows a constant 102 degrees at the engine regardless of the watertemp shown on the guage which can vary from 90
- 120 degrees!!!
(and yes I have calibrated the sensor in megatherm properly!)
that being said - if you follow through on my link above you can see that those sensors are described as 'engine management sensor'....

Its for my Dunnell ecu, Dunnell say use the standard sensor ?
The water rail has the 1/8 thread .
There are two sensors in the standard stat housing
1/8
3/8
Posts on here point to the 3/8 sensor being for the ecu.

Mk2 Cavaliers and early Astras and Novas were like that. Not sure of the thread and some aftermarket sensors for them were a normal 6mm spade
connector.

standard ford thread that one - by the way - i have just spoken to dunnels this afternoon they didnt think the water rails were very good in helping
cooling - but i didnt go into it - i have the dunnell set up too on mine - used a VDO gauge with standard ford sensor came with it..
