Fitting a temperature gauge sender
Does anyone know what thermostat housing will fit my 1961 1098cc moggy. I have no idea ! mine is a 3 bolt fitting but has no drilling for a sender.

Re: Fitting a temperature gauge sender
Your 1098cc cylinder head (Pt No: 12G202) should have a temp gauge take off just below the thermostat housing on the spark plug side of the head. The take off is suitable for both capillary or electrical senders.
The classic Mini had a thermostat housing with temp gauge take off but they are few and far between now.

Like phil says this is 1098 with capillary gauge.

Re: Fitting a temperature gauge sender
Just to add, here is my electric (pos. earthed) temperature gauge sender. The plug it replaces is 5/8" U.N.F. and requires a 7/8" A/F socket for removal.
