I'm converting my Sprint to electronic ignition with fuel injection. Now the ECU needs a coolant sensor, has anyone already used such a thermostat housing adapter (to fix the coolant sensor) or knows where to get such a thing in the UK ?
Thanks, Peter

The Clivey boy stop has the temp sensor after the thermostat which is great for fan control. Not so good for engine temp sensor for a ecu, as will read cold until the point the thermostat opens. So nut much use for mixture control on the warm up.

There seem to be quite a few spacers of various sizes on e-bay, particularly in the USA.
Cheers,
Pete.

Bill, this is half correct as it all depends on the bonnet. Ones with the paper rope reinforcing in will need some adjustment, but ones without will fit OK in my experience.
