Now ive got your attention,

Is it ok if i was to drill and tap the radiator end cap( just above the rad switch) and fit the an external water temp gauge sender?

The rad is a Airtec Alloy one.

I doubt the material would be thick enough for you to cut a thread. You'll probably have to have a threaded boss welded on.
