Gauge fitting questions TD42i

Hi cuppa
Pm your address and I'll send you a compression fitting that will work. What is the probe dia

Thanks Oldmate, PM sent, a larger diameter compression fitting to suit the supplied pyro probe sounds like a better solution than a reducer/adaptor fitting. PM sent.

OK - I didn't realise it was coated. You are right in that someone must have done this before. Hopefully Genie will be able to assist - or maybe send you another (exchange) dump pipe with the correct fitting? If you have non matching threads you may not be able to position the sensor correctly. It may not make much difference - but the probe tip should sit in the centre of the pipe.

I'll try the place around the corner from me but if that fails if you could point me in the right direction would be appreciated!

my probe is 3.15 mm How much would the part your referring to cost and what part number / address I can pick one up from

Try one of these mate just make sure the thermocouple probe goes all the way through the fitting. You can probaby get them elsewhere but I know blackwoods do them.

The two gauges that are currently in my sights are Redarc (previously Autron) LCD items - the EGT & Boost (G52-EB) , and the Oil pressure/Coolant temperature (G52-PWT).

All are supplied with ⅛” NPT threaded sensors.

1. The Genie exhaust has a ¼” BSP threaded Pyro boss. Is it acceptable to use a ¼”BSP to ⅛”NPT adaptor & is there a preferred material for the adaptor? (I’ve only seen brass)

Hi Cuppa,

Step 1 - Buy the EGT & Boost (G52-EB) Gauge
Step 2 - Discard the NPT compression fitting supplied with the guage
Step 3 - Purchase the BSP compression fitting from Blackwoods, Coventrys, Repco, Mudski, One Temp etc
Step 4 - Screw the BSP compression fitting into the BSP thread on the Genie pipe
Step 5 - Slide the thermocouple into the fitting and clamp with the probe tip approx centre of pipe dia
Step 6 - Sit back with a brew and enjoy a job well done

Make sure you put the kettle on before you start... you will still be waiting for it to boil when you finish

2. The factory oil pressure sensor is next to the oil filters and you can use a T piece. You can also use the ports on the passenger side that were used for the vac pump alternators. 1/8 for the oil should be right.

Could someone post up a pic or diagram identifying where these ports on the passenger side are please.

Hey Cuppa,
I used one of these on my ute to fit the oil temp/pressure gauge senders. You can stipulate the type of thread for your senders you require. They just fit between the oil filter and block and I have not had a leak since fitting mine. Easy as! Google oil sandwich plate.

Here you go cuppa. You can see the back of the alternator as reference.
