Lets keep this going until someone starts making something to sell or we come up with the combo on our own. Thanks for everyones input on this subject.
Thanks for figuring that out. Will do the same.

Hey Rage, sorry it took me so long to reply. Been away on bussiness. Try this link first for the catalog http://www.gaffrigperformance.com/do...ig_Catalog.pdf the sender is on page 29. Then try this, all the http stuff except after /downloads/2006_RETAIL_PRICE_LIST.pdf it's a 2006 price list so I'm sure it's more now. I haven't ordered them yet but I will get around to it soon. Let me know how you make out and lets keep this going until someone gets results, Bill

I tried the URL you provided for the catalogue and can only get a "page can not be found" message from IE brouser. Do you have an electronic copy of this catalogue? I yes can you send it too me via email or maybe just the page with the sensor if possible?

Thanks. Bill

Rage,

Click on the link and then in your IE address bar correct the spelling of "download". The W and N are transposed.

We will have to rename you Eagle Eye. That did it.

Thanks,

Well that Gaffrig stainless steel oil temperature sensor #9111is a 1/8 NPT that includes a dedicated sealed ground wire. The Gaffrig guy said $14!!!!!!!!!! It is only for use with their 2 5/8" 'racing' oil temperature gage. That gage with sensor is $63. I forgot to confirm that the sensor provided with this gage is this same #9111 stainless sensor but at $14 I would think so. Simple to determine.

All one would need is to have a machinist chuck that sensor at the hex and cut a 3/8-16 thread ( stainless would likely be too hard to run a threading die like with the brass bodied sensor) and round the hex at the sensor base about 3/16 up from the gasket surface sufficient to clear the Bravo casing recess around the vent plug hole and it is good to go. All that would remain is to do a water tight splice of longer wires to the sensor pigtails to reach the dash board gage mounting.

The stainless steel Gaffrig #9111 sensor body appears to be soft enought to allow the plastic encapsolated sensor body to be constrained in the stainless shell by roll crimping the rim of the hex head. This implies that the stainless may be soft enough to rethread to the required 3/8-16 thread with a tapping die as apposed to requiring the services of a machinist. I may give it a try.

Let us all know how you make out with the sensor when you try it. I'm ordering a few to do the same. I think Livorsi or Gaffrig would do a temp gauge with drive temp on it. They used to have them and maybe still do? Did you happen to verify what the temp range was for the #9111 sender?
