I am unsure what the best place would be, what's the thermostat housing?

Follow the top radiator hose from the radiator to the thermostat housing Danny

Not sure why you couldn't? Well not that I have heard anyways, I just thought being an aftermarket radiator his may have a bung for accessories( low coolant alarm, temp sender etc). I've been using an inline one for 5 yrs now without any leaks.

I think you can also put one in the hose. Eric from down Coffs Harbour did one last year from memory.

Yeah that would be a inline one.
I'll rather put on in the the thermostat, looks neater IMO.

Thanks
heading to supercheap today to look for the gauge and sensor. Will look if the radiator has one of those inline and otherwise try to fit it in thermohousing.
I contacted pwr for any of there advise, considering the radiator can't be opened and cleaned, but they couldn't do much.
So if I fitted the temp stuff, then just do a test drive and record temps?

It needs to be after the thermostat but as close to it as possible to give you a more accurate reading of the water temp in the motor.
