Hello chaps, has anyone got or knows where I can buy a water temp sender
unit for my 1098 cylinder head. I understand that one for a early mini will
fit. My new electric guage came with a sender but it is too long. Thankyou
in anticipation, Keith, Classicsfan.

Re: Water temp sender for 1098 engine
Just a small point. The gauge and sender must be 'matched' otherwise the gauge will be inaccurate. I would look at getting an adaptor made up so you can use the sender that came with the gauge.

And - it must be fed from the stablised power supply on the back of the speedo. Frankly - capillary gauges are much better.....

I'll 'third' that! Had to screw an adaptor in first to allow room for the capillary bulb.

Re: Water temp sender for 1098 engine
Hello chaps, thanks to everyone who has replied. Well I'm not sure which
road to go down. I bought a pair of gauges, the oil pressure gauge and its sender
fitted without a problem. I've no idea where I could get an adapter from. Has
anyone had one made. I read a few of the posts before and it seems a lot of members
have had problems with the gauges and wiring, senders etc. Another chap told
me gauge and sender usually come as a matched pair. Many thanks, keith.

Re: Water temp sender for 1098 engine
What make of electric temperature gauge is it? If it's Smiths, then the sender from a BMC car, which used Smiths gauges as standard will work fine (with of course the voltage stabiliser unit). It is is not Smiths, then you will need a matching sender and very likely not a voltage stabiliser - I am not aware of any other make that uses one.
The 'normal' thread in the side of the head is 5/8" UNF; are there Smiths senders that will screw straight in without needing any adaptor?
