Hey Dann, did ya get that bung? Do you think it can be located in such a way to minimize heat soak? Maybe a small shield or deflector?

Not really sure. :?

But hoping you'd come up with something - I appreciate there isn't many a good option to 1) be in the best location to ensure it gets idle airflow, and 2) be out of the way from incoming heat from the radiator - I do expect I might just have to accept it will be prone to some heat soak and a shield won't probably be that effective, but if anything comes to mind, just do it and I'll either cut it off if I don't like it, or make some minor adjustment etc if needed.

No big deal.

Thanks again and can't wait to see what you come up with ;-)

how long is the sensor you have from the end of the thread to the end of the sensor?

As in how far past the threads does the sensor stick out?

Me to!! :D

Are you going to do it in the AM? It would likely end up on a truck in the evening.

Are you going to stick it all in a box?

Either way can you let me know the approx dimensions and weights so I can log in to my account and see a rough cost and figure out best method to move it.

Bloody pushy clients :P
