Does anyone have a definitive size for the Temperature sender?
I'm fitting a Durite gauge in a custom build and the Durite has a 1/8" NPTF sender. In an ideal world it'll bolt straight in, but I imagine I'll need an adaptor.
Thank you,
Phil

Re: Temperature Sender thread size GL1000
Did you measure the threads on the OEM sending unit you removed? I put an aftermarket gauge in from the auto parts store. Just used one of the adaptors that came with the gauge.

No, haven't removed it yet - ideally wanted to have it out and new one in at the same time.robin1731 wrote:Did you measure the threads on the OEM sending unit you removed? I put an aftermarket gauge in from the auto parts store. Just used one of the adaptors that came with the gauge.

Any idea what size adapter you used?

Re: Temperature Sender thread size GL1000
I 'think' it may be M16 x 1.5
I'll have to whip it out and measure.

Re: Temperature Sender thread size GL1000
Yep, for future reference purposes I can confirm that the standard temperature sender for a GL1000 has an M16 x 1.5 thread.
Thankfully a pretty standard size so there a plenty of DURITE adaptors available.

Re: Temperature Sender thread size GL1000
I bought an Autometer gauge of my Wing, and no adapter worked. What i did was drill the guts out of the oem sending unit, and tapped the inside of it for the Auto Meter sending unit.
