heater hose water temp adapter I did some searching with no luck. I was looking for the heater hose adapter for the mechanical water temp gauge. Has anyone seen these. I need this for a temporary fix till I can afford to buy all the autometer electric gauges that I want. Thanks, Josh
What size is your Mechanical sender ?
what are you trying to do..?.. put the sender in the Water Heater hose out/inlet ?
Why not drill and tap the Water pump for the size of the sender.. search .. as there as a post within the past few days on water temp sender.

You can buy a pipe tee and install hose barbs on each end and your temp. sender on the tee side. I would be concerned about how accurate of a reading you would be getting. You could also use a scanner to get a water temp reading from your pcm if you only want a temporary solution. I used a 1/2" npt tee to install my trans. temp. gauge in the cooler line. It is hidden under the air intake on the pass. side of the radiator so i didn't care aboit the looks.

hose barb That sounds like a good idea. As long as you are on the outlet from engine shouldn't you have an accurate reading? I would think so, but I could be wrong. Thanks for the help, Josh
