Temp Sensor Adapter : MKII/MKIII to MkI 1/8 NPT Adaptor
« on: February 03, 2010, 09:01:51 pm »
This adapter is for the MKII /MKIII style sensor

Toywagen.com us no longer making them

It is used on the later coolant necks 1.9

You can install the stock MKI type 1/8 npt sensor or a aftermarket type coolant sensor on this adapter.

I sent a email to Nick at Streetoys if he would be intersted in mfg this item.

Anybody else looking ?

you know, decarbonated beer is a better coolant than the stuff you buy at the auto store, and is better for you...... really

You only need this particular adapter if you're wanting to run the old-skool brass temperature sensors:



on the later coolant manifolds that are expecting the bigger cartridge-style temp sensors:



The adapter looks like this:



The owner of toywagens.com told me at the time that I bought his last one... sorry guys!!   ;D

I don't even have a coolant neck yet. :'(  Don't think that I will need this, though.

Since no ones makes them now, Iam going to install both of the 1.6 type assys

Front housing will be for my aftermarket gauge (1/8 NPT ), side outlet will wire to the stock cluster gauge.

Nope... which is why the Toywagens of the worlds started to build 'em on the side.
