[DeTomaso] Fluidyne Pantera Radiators, and interesting update

[Asa Jay Laughton]

I did not check the fit of the sensors in the -new- radiator.  I'm  
returning it.  My sensors are currently installed in the existing  
Fluidyne in my Pantera.  They fit just fine, no binding.  I re-fit  
them about four years ago and they didn't have any problem then.

If it's changed with the new radiators, I don't know.  I -can- tell  
you the threads in the bungs for the sensors on the new radiator  
looked like crap.  They looked like the tap had been run too fast and  
was already too hot.

As I recall, when I purchased my Fluidyne 10 years ago from Larry  
Stock, I also got the new temp switches with it.  I don't know the  
sensors from a Brass radiator will fit.
