Help with my secondary temp gauge

[Finwallace]

Ive got a 1kz surf and would like to install a secondary water temp gauge aswell as the standard one, where can i put the sensor probe? T into radiator hoses?

Measure your hose and order a t adaptor off trade me. Put it in the top hose

as mattman says, this really is the quickest and easiest solution. i tend to have the sensor in the lower half of the upper radiator pipe , so that if i were to lose a little coolant, the sensor would still be reading water temp.(if you get my drift).
something like this comes in several different diameters, so measure before you hit buy now.

I have mounted mine exactly as Blake suggested. Good advice.

Cheers guys will have a look, some people say put them in the manifold. Much difference?

[Mattman]

Manifold? If you have a spare blank in the thermostat housing then use that but if not then the best bet is to put it in the top hose using an adaptor.
