Hi Macca . . . waaaaayyyyy old thread, but if you can cast your mind back, was the Speedflow adaptor you bought a 12mm 1.25 pitch to go into that hole on the thermostat housing? or did you have to drill and tap it?
Thanks mate

Sorry mate just got the notification to let me know there had been a quoted reply.

As for your question I have no idea, unfortunately the part that came out is buried in the Trol ready for an extended trip. Carry it as a repair if the sender fails / leaks.

Think @Cuppa did something like this so he might be able to help.

Hi, yes I copied Macca with the Speedflow adaptor. It screwed straight in with no need for any drilling & tapping. Easy & convenient. It was 12.mm x 1.5 pitch. See pic below for part no. In normal use my coolant temp reads 80 degrees, rising to 90 degrees in hotter weather & under load.

Thanks Macca & Cuppa,
I did eventually get one of those same adaptors, but had to run a tap through the hole to get it to screw in . . .
All good though, its working like a champion now
I see my previous post went into moderation? what's that all about?
thanks again

Cuppa, is that adaptor with the redarc 1/8" temperature sender? Fit ok? Does the probe stick out of adaptor far enough to reach coolant?

Hi Rip, Yes it's with the redarc sender. Fitted & works perfectly.
