Julian,

Do you have a part # for the VDO sensor?

The temp sensor boss threads on a Fluidyne are M22x1.5. I installed a VDO
adjustable sensor using an M22x1.5 male to NPT female adapter and blanked
off the second boss with a screw in plug.

sensors from the local auto parts store. they threaded right in and seal
fine - no leaks. I do not recall the thread (metric or english) though.
However, those sensors dont activate soon enough for my liking, so I dont
use them. I never tried to reuse the original sensors - they looked like
they were about to fall off. A simple temp sensor of the right variety (on
at a certain temp, like 180) can be found on the internet and inserted into
the water pump(probably not the best spot) or the upper metal water pipe on
top of the thermostat (my 74 car had a temp controlled vacuum switch there),
or in the small hole on the side of the pressure tank where my car had a
bleed line attached to the radiator. just some thoughts. justin
