Interest in a H2O Temp Sensor Fitting?
Ok... I've gotten quite a few requests in the past several weeks regarding my machined water temp fitting.
This thing:
I keep having to say no because it takes 3 or 4 hours to machine them by hand.
Now.... if enough people say they want one, I can try to get a machine shop to make a bunch at a price similar to the Greddy fitting ($30ish), but it would be made to fit the more affordable Autometer gauges.
Anyone wondering... this fitting saves you the trouble of having to tap the radiator or the engine block to put a water temp gauge in. All you have to do is cut the hose (a new one is $12 from Honda vs. a radiator or new engine). It slips in and you hose clamp it in place, the sensor and a ground wire thread into the boss in the center. They'll be aluminum to keep everything in the system the same material.
If anyone has interest say so... I'm not looking to make money here... just doing a favor to get anyone who wants this useful gauge the ability to put it in easily.
I don't know if its possible yet... but give me some interest before I put a lot of time in making a good print for quoting and stuff.

Rep Power: 380 I'd be interested. This civic is going to see a lot less autocross this year, but that just means I'll have to do more Hill cilimbs....

oh the fun we'll have.
If you list the parts and whats nessisary for fabrication, the more mechanically inclined may be able to make their own.
