Hodge's new 4.2

[threedogs]

I have a full set of taps if you need to tap a new thread
Didnt Cuppa have the same problem with his EGT probe

I wonder why all the R&D on the A.R.E scoops then??

ARE did all their r&d on the factory cooler and their factory replacement core which really isnt that mucj bigger but much more efficient.

Easiest way to test this is the old wool trick. If you have a fan just hard wire and see how the air is behaving.

Hodge I will have a look tomorrow for you mate and get some part numbers for you if I can.

You can easily drill those fittings out as far as you can if you like.

Cheers mate, that would be excellent! The water temp. one is my priority. EGT, worse comes to worst, can re-weld a bung to suit on.

Egt one is easy. You will just need a 1/4 to 1/8 reducer. 1/8npt and bspt are close enough that it will work or you could run a 1/8 npt tap down it. Even a 1/4 bspt plug that you drill and tap yourself to 1/8npt.

I am struggling to find right adapters for my water sensor and EGT probe. Went to Enzed and 2 other hyd. shops and they couldn't help me out.

My water temp hole is M12 x 1.5 and the sensor is 1/4 NPT.

EGT bung is 1/4 BSP and the probe is 1/8th NPT.

The bloke at Enzed found what he calls close enough for the water one The water one is a makeshift adapter consisting of 2 adapters, but the female is not NPT it is something else, but he reckons with a bit of thread tape it should work.... But also what he gave me, as you can see in one photo has a tiny hole through the adapter, which I am not sure, will be good enough for sensor to pickup the right coolant temperature through ????

Edit: The brass adapter in the photo is unrelated to anything here lol.

Why is the water temp 1/4? Mine is 1/8. Have they changed the size? You got the Redarc gauges yeah? As for the bung. I have 1/4 and 1/8bsp bungs. If you get a BSP tap you can just retap it. NPT wont go into BSP, but BSP will go into NPT. Bugger. If your stuck go around to JPC and see Mark. He'll have something there for you.

And I got 1/4 to 1/8 reducers too mate. Both in NPT and BSP...

Thanks Mark. I have the g52-bet model redarc. The temperature is an optional sensor that comes in 1/8 or 1/4 and i selected 1/4 . Otherwise both identical sensors.

Can you return the 1/4 temp sender and get the smaller one. Will be much easier to fit.

They were other of stock of the other one, so I got the 1/8 instead thinking it wouldn't be so bad...

This was off eBay, but yeah I usually go there I forgot to check whether they had any of this to be honest.
When you say I've got the 1/4 or 1/8 sender, you mean the sensor ???
