Default Temp gauge Fitting?

As above really i have a water temp gauge to install but not sure wheres the best place to put the sender on a Saph?

I had thought about putting it in the pipe where my swirl pot is with a connector from tweekies. Then i wondered if i could use the hole where the standard temp sensor is by using a T piece if thats possible. Or if anyones got a better idea where to put it that would be great.

Depending on the the thread type, you can replace the existing sensor with the new one....

Yes, why do you want two? The Ford one is about as accurate as sticking your finger in the water - you know it's fucking hot, but have no idea HOW hot .
