Some more thoughts about fitting a oil temperature sender unit into a Type-1 engine. There is about five options that I`ve heard of;
1.The oil drain plug. Not good. Too risky for lowered cars running bumpy roads.
2.Oil dipstick with the sender unit in it. Maybe the best way to do it, but costs more than a simple sender. (And I already bought a threaded sender.)
3.A T-junction sharing the connection for the pressure sender. Some say it could capture air and not work correctly?
4.Aircooled.net sells a sender that is suppoused to replace the oil relief valve`s plug. Is there enough of oil flow to get a temerature reading?
5.Lastly, I heard somebody found a "free" threaded connection from the side of the oil sump and used this. But when I look under my engine (case type AS41), I cant see any place that the guy was talking about???
