water temperature gauge

[Darrell]

Have a nasty feeling that gauge set being from America is going to be 1/8 NPT 27 teeth per inch. Not a very common fitting in the UK.
Did the set not come with any adaptors ??

adaptors:




thats what i have, but can you suggest the sort of adaptor i need.

What about the idea of the pipe where the heater matrix once went?

Here I just thought this might come in handy:

ive sent them a question asking if they can make one for my sensor.
my standard gague still likes to tell me my engine is boiling over, is there a resistor i can put in (what value) to tune it down correctly for my engine.

Do you have the vitara sensor installed?

If so, make sure you change it for the samurai/sj sensor

[Smalljeep]

i still have a vit one in yes, i dont have the sammy one anymore.

That's your problem then... try and get a samurai one... borrow one to test if you can... I think they are only about £5 though

Here is a pic of what someone else has done to fit one of those senders


I'm gonna hazard a guess that the first fitting you measured is 5/8 UNF (hopefully I'm not wrong)

demon tweaks do that size adapter for a water hose.

Ahhhh that's a good one!!! You could take the sender housing/lid to pretty much an fab shop and they could do it for cheap!!!

where can i get the standard water sensor?
if it was going i wouldnt need this other gague working, i could put in something more useful like a voltmeter.
