Firstly. Need an oil temp sensor for the zetec. Anyone know the size? Think its an m14. Or if anyone has a link to one. Would be appreciated.

What bolts or screws do I use to fasten a front strut brace to the front turrets? Was thinking of self tapping 10mm blots. But don't know how long to get them? Again any links would be appreciated.

And finally, I can twist my passenger strut top round. The drivers is stiff but could probably twist it if I tried hard enough. Why is this?

1.
M14 is the sump thread. Yes. Adaptor depends on your sensor.

2.
Wide self Tappers come with the standard kits.
I welded nuts in the strut tops. :eh:

3.
Not an issue unless it's.really lose and moves up and down too.

Where can I put it if I don't put it in the sump plug?
Have a pressure sensor by the filter.

So I buy a sump plug with adapter piece the a sensor to fit to that. Or can I buy a m14 sensor and put it straight in?

Not looked if an m14 sender is available.
Best option is to fit a second hole for the sender.
No need to remove it for oil changes then and less likely to get damaged.
