Radiator hoses

[trekster]

Hello friends,

Tried searching but either didn't input the right terms or the answer isn't here..... yet


I need to get myself an adaptor to fit inline with one of my radiator hoses to fit my aftermarket coolant temp sensor. My car is a 98 GU with the 2.8 in it, So I can't just tap it into the thermostat housing as has been done on the 4.2 as mine sits 1/3 of the way down the engine and doesn't have a bleeder on it, The standard sensor is on the side of the block.

Looking at one of these babies

But without removing the hose and putting shite everywhere on the driveway I was wondering if anyone could tell me the approximate ID of the radiator hose, Top one should be ok to install it to?

I know I will have to earth it for my gauge to work that's no problem.

If anyone could help that'd be great!


Cheers all,
Eric.

Hey man thanks, But when I search that site it only lists the zd30, td42 and tb45....

Not sure if they are the same as the 2.8


Regards,

Good value and I like the mounting in the top hose.

[megatexture]

No point mounting on the bottom after the coolant has gone threw the radiator and 9$ is dam good lol

[megatexture]

That link isn't working I think they may have stuffed up and ment to put 29 or39$ ?.

A mate got 3x40" dual row light bars for 24$ each lol 7 sold then the seller removed the add realising the stuff up.

Try this?

There's a few different sizes there listed for say $15 or under with different sellers. I could have got it for $5.95 but didn't want to wait for it to come from china haha

Eric.

No worries 3d I wanted to get a bit better monitoring then the factory needle, the one I got is a digital readout so can keep an exact eye in it!
