Hi,
I am using a housing from a silver top with 2 threaded sensors and it has cracked, the only replacements I can find don't have threads for the sensors just push fit with a clip to hold them in place.
I have a spare housing from an the st170 but that has a blank in the bottom sensor hole, can I get a sensor to fit that hole or do I have to make a take off for my gauge sensor elsewhere?

Cheers

I suspect it'll be Plastic.
Newer ones dont have half of the take-offs in them.
Alloy ones were well spec'd but rare.
I've only ever seen two in the flesh.

There are 2 on eBay at £100 each! Yikes.

You can always use the CVH housing if needed - but you'll need to get an adapter:

The CVH one doesn't have the bypass valve though.
:(

Ive fitted the st170 housing that came with the engine and put a sensor in the top radiator hose for my clocks temp gauge.

Thanks
