Right so came home from work to find a anpost delivery notice, off to the postoffice, guessed correctly its my two new sensors with npt threads! :hat:
So now when I had NPT in the plate and sensors with NPT I figured that I'd stick it on. So out with the teflon tape. Decided to plug the two holes to on the side of the plate, these wouldn't get the sensor in deep enough, decided to go with the lower left one instead (hoping this setup will actually fit under the car, will see tomorrow). The new sensor look a bit cheap compared to the defi's, guess that's to expect for the price I paid for them ,will see how they do. They came with connectors for the cable going to the defi controller. Decided they're not good enough for the location of the oil sensor, so cut them and soldered them together to my cabling that'll be routed to the defi unit. pics below! (hope I did the teflon part ok, the bolts aren't going to move or leak (hoping the latter)
Thanks for now.
bolts compared
getting ready, the tape was to wide so had to be cut in half
sorted! I hope that looks ok? Bolt in left hand and thread on clockwise, so they said :hat:
as snug as it gets, didnt dare to tighten it more...
test fitted the sensor, looking good.
before
done!
fitted!
hard to see but it's perfect!
cables ready!
prefer to do it 50% in and then twist the cables to each side
twisted!
nicely melted sodder (is that what it's called?)
all out with the shrink tubing! 8)
Tomorrow this will be fitted, keep fingers crossed this will work. ;D
