hi i have the gauge fitted to my rs but never been plumbed in could any1 tell me what i need to get it working and where to get it from and how to plumb it in and where this goes




cheeRS

 

Has no1 got a temp gauge fitted like this 1

 

not sure but it possibly replaces the water temp sendor direct. if not then you will either need a adapter or drill/tap the rad if its made of suitable material. not sure on whats best location though. id asses the first option first though for obvious reasons.

 

I'll have a look see if it's the right size thread the head don't fancy drilling and tap the head there should b some sort of adapter to go in water pipes etc but haven't a clue where to get 1 from

 

im sure theres no need for drilling/tapping the head/block. rad possibly?
theres bound to be a well known method of fitting, the ford gauges are among the nicest and have been fitted to tons of rst's, cossies ect. try motosport developments, burton power ect for fittings/adapters. ill be suprised if it ISNT the same thread/pitch as the oe w/temp sendor. its located on the front of the block nr the turbo area

 

I'll give it ago m8 iv put a thread up b4 and nothing I can't belive no1s got the right answer I have emailed people who sell the gauges and still nothing I'll have a look 2moz nyt c if I can thread it into the front of the head

 

its easy to get at, 2 min job.

 

Cheers m8 I'll give it ago

 

The thread in the head is loads to small so can't go there need some sort of t piece that goes in the pipe wrk

 

burton power normally have adapters/t pieces. failing that get an engineering firm to fab one up and put it inline in a coolant hose.

 

Yeah sound cheers I'll ring em up c if they've got 1 c how I get on
