Default Where to mount water temp sensor?

I've got a Auto Meter Water Temp Gauge.
I need to mount the sensor, where's everyone mounting them at.
I was going to mount it in the pass head, like the ECT is in the drivers head.
But the sensor is a 1/8" NPT, and the head is a metric thread. The two adapters with the sensor are NPT also and will not fit.

I have a Meziere electric water pump that has a fitting I can use.
Anyone ever mounted the sensor in there.

Hey Mike,
Water Pump was easy as pie.
Great price on the pump, by the way.
I'll send you a PM on the fitting.

I was going to grease up a 1/4" NPT tap and open it up some.
