Non standard Coolant sensor locations

Wondering if anyone has found non standard places to put coolant sensors on the bp. I'm doing a reroute but trying to do it without the spacer.
At this stage I need 4 location. The 2 factory sensors and two aftermarket sensors.
I believe there is a spare port at the back of the head that the 323 used for the ecu sensor.
Has anyone tried running one sensor to multiple devices?

Yah that's the back up plan. Was trying to avoid it for the sake of fewer hose joins (potential leaks) and neater looks.
if nothing else shows itself I'll just do that but do it in a place i could include it in a hard line later.

Have you seen my hardline reroutes? I can weld in fittings for sensors also.

Yup, but you're in Newcastle and I'm in Brisbane and my inlet is different due to the itbs.
I'm sure you could probably work around it if I could give you photos, but I need the car running to get the intake system finalised.

As far as I'm aware, the 323s and MX5 used the same 2 sensors and locations. I can take a photo of my 323 to confirm the differences if you like.

Hmmm ok. The photos I've found online show the 323 sensor in the head where the mx5 runs it in the (almost) thermostat cover.
A photo would be awesome if you could.

The 323 has 2 sensors within 50mm of eachother. One is for the dash, the other for the ECU. I'll take a pic and upload this morning sometime.

My 323 doesn't have the water temp sensor unit as it is a post 96 model. Just has the regular hex grub screw in there.

My old BPT motor had the sender though.
