 :welcome: I like the look of the pistol grip without the console.

The hard part will be to find a Temperature Sending unit with the correct threads for that big of an opening.  Not sure if I've ever seen one for it?   :clueless:

Hey guys,


Curently my temp gauges is not linked to the sending unit and driving without this working is real annoying.
So i'd like to fix this asap.

There is still a sending unit on place, seen as first picture.

I found a new one here: http://www.megapartsusa.com/proddetail.asp?prod=212%2DTS101

But i'd like to add another  gauge to have the real temperature of the water. So i'd like to add a sending unit on the water pump located on picture 2.
Is it possible?
What's the reference for this sending unit?

Thanks

What about a t-fitting for one of intake manifold.  So can maintain stock and aftermarket?

@JS29 & @Marc70challenger  Thanks Guys! No plan for mauritius for the moment but i keep in mind  :bigthumb:


I am searching for t-fitting....not easy!

I found this picture.
What do you think about this ? It looks like a "stock" sending unit in an adaptor?  :thinking:
Aftermarket part?

That should work good.  Try checking at a local hardware or plumbing supply store for those brass fittings.   :dunno:

Thanks @Cuda Cody Cody,

I'll try this, but i guess it won't fit because of the different thread. US/Euro  :thinking:

Cedric,
Ref for the sending unit is TS17 at summit.
You can find at Roseville Moparts too. and like this, if you have some other parts to buy, only one shipping. ;)

And you can put it on the water pump or on the intake manifold with an adapter.

Thanks for the link and the ref Hervé !

I don't have the original intake manifold, it's a weiand without plug on it.
I only have the one big on the water pump.... The matter for me is to find the right adaptor

put this sending unit on the water pump where there is already the old. like this no need of an adapter.

Yes Hervé, that's a part of the plan. But as i would like to add another gauge with the exact temperature i need another spot.

Welcome to the site. My family and I stayed in Vimoutier in Normandy some years back and we quite like France. You've got a beautiful car and I love that blue- tres chic! I believe the reducer you're looking for is actually called a bushing in plumbers parlance. The fittings going into the manifold are all NPT (national pipe thread) and I'd be looking in a US plumbing supply house for the parts you're looking for. Bonne chance!  :canada:

Thanks  @jimynick

Vimoutier is a well known village of WW2 lovers.

I live near the city of Caen, so Vimoutiers is just at 45 minutes by road. If you plan to visit D-day's beach let me know.  :cheers:
