Dave Eastwood (Gadgetman) - Club Chairman Posted December 28, 2014 Share Posted December 28, 2014 Senders are normally matched to gauges, they aren't universal as such. What brand gauge is it VDO, Smiths, ETB? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stickymint Posted December 28, 2014 Author Share Posted December 28, 2014 I think it is a Smiths - but the car is at work, so will have to double check in the morning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stickymint Posted December 29, 2014 Author Share Posted December 29, 2014 Having checked, it is a Racetech gauge. So I am looking for a sender unit for a Racetech oil temp gauge. I measure it as 3/8" thread. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Martin Keene Posted December 29, 2014 Share Posted December 29, 2014 Why do you want to measure bulk oil temperature? I'd be more interesting in the main gallery temperature, as this is the oil the bearings are about to receive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Martin Keene Posted December 29, 2014 Share Posted December 29, 2014 Furry muff... I wonder what the builder was trying to achieve with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Eastwood (Gadgetman) - Club Chairman Posted December 29, 2014 Share Posted December 29, 2014 It's quite common. Mine was like that too, it's how SBD had there dry sump tanks made. The theory is it's important to know the temperature of the oil your about to feed into the bearings, I suppose. (Or at least, I seem to recall that was the consensus reached when it was debated on here several years ago.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
