FRIDAY 9th July 2021 WSCC Blyton Trackday

[BenD]

any main stealers near you. i was looking for a zetec 1.8 part recently and they still had some in stock at my local ford. what ecu are you running. @Jack T

[BenD]

can the blacktop housing be drilled and tapped for the 1.8 sensor. im still at work if we know the thread i could bring a drill and tap with me

[Jack T]

@BenD thanks, tried local dealer, factors scrap yards with no joy unfortunately. 
 

MBE ecu, just wondering if I could plumb the sensor in via a bit of hose to the spare outlet and use one of the blacktop ones @marcusb or @Kingsterhas very kindly offered. 

[BenD]

as long as its in the coolant i cant see the location making that much difference.

 

is it one of these

@BenD it a larger diameter one similar to a rad switch/sensor. 
 

Really appreciate your offer of help. 👍

 

@Kingster is very kindly meeting me with a black top housing which hopefully I can make work.

 

I was supposed to be trailering it tonight but no winch available so will just drive in the morning if I can get it together, fingers crossed! 
 

Just shows the power of WSCC!

This is the sensor at the top I need to rig up, poor picture as the car isn’t at home with me. 

[BenD]

If you do go down the route of putting it in a hose on the spare outlet. If you need a bung making or something to push into the hose and you know the thread I may be able to make you a fitting to make it work. I'm here till half 5

If you run a heater, disconnect the heater and put the sensor in the end of a short piece of rubber hose that would normally go to the heater and block the other pipe off with a bolt or similar and jubilee clip

[Jack T]

@John funny that thought was just going round my mind, might be able to connect the gauge sensor to the other leg so I can keep an eye on temps still too.

Probably a daft question but I'm assuming it's no shorts or t shirts.

Long trousers and sleeves.
