Recieved the kit today.. will head to the machine shop after work tomorrow and see what happens.. Going out to do some measurments now.

I recieved the 2 kits today that Griff pointed out on ebay. I'll post some pics tomorrow of the sender. The sender is built right onto the end of the braided shielding and swivels at the end. I hope they will clear my steering bracket without too much modification to it. Just noticed that the bracket is right in front of the fill plug. How dumb is that?

LOL,,,thats how wingplates are !!! I drilled a big hole in mine .

Yea I didn't even think to look and when I did I was knocked over. Besides that, one drive the pplug is in the side of the casing on the flat surface and on the other its in a casting lug that the other one doesn't even have. Whats up with that? Later year upper housing? These drives won't last long I suspect anyway. Should be good enough for me to learn how to handle a Cat. Then the blowers go back on and I look into beefing up the drives. Whats the best bang for the buck for Bravo replacements? Imco's, B-Max's, Other?

Anyway I'll get the pics up of the senders so everyone can see what they looked like before and get some ideas on which way to go from here. These 2 sets are new but old from the looks os the boxes. Complete and sealed though.

Don't f*ck your stuff up. Just sell them to me for 5% more than you outbid me by & call it good.

Great. If the sensor threading works I would be interested to know what the machining cost is.

I like the IMCO's !!! ( the big ones )

Well,
made a trip to the machine shop and on the last cut the sensor sliped out of the chuck. And it was down hill from there. Ended up breaking the sensor. Was able to check out the thermistor inside and discussed making a new housing. So not a great outcome. But learned a bit anyway.

I think if we had used a 6 jaw chuck, it would hold on to it better. But that would have caused him to swap out the chuck and he stopped some work in progess on the lathe to do it in the first place.
I am going to see what it will cost to make a new housing. And go from there..

Thanks for trying.

I guess you know by now that the Gaffrig sensor is not stainless but chrome plated brass. I learned that today when I tried a threading die on it. The sensor actually bent during the process. When I tried to straighten it it seperated at the threads. The Gaffrig sensor's brass body is thinner walled than the Livorsi oil temperature sensor and will not tolerate the 1/4-28 thread.
