Hello Guys,

I´m looking for thread adaptors for my Elan GTS project.
I want to fit Stack Classic Electric gauges into the car where the senders have a 1/8"-NPT thread.

I am just not able to find any adaptor for the Water temperature to fit it into the Thermostat housing.
So I´m looking for an adaptor with 3/8" BSP (or BSPT?) to 1/8" NPT ... can it be sourced anywhere (not only in China ...)?

Or is it something where I have to make it on my own like buying a 3/8" BSP plug and drill a 1/8" NPT thread into?

Many of the Ali radiators (TTR for instance) will have a threaded sensor hole. Just plug the thermostat housing

You can just about make out the Stack sensor

Thanks Graeme.
Just found at competitionsupplies.com an 3/8 BSP to 1/8 NPT adaptor.
But still will think about your solution in the radiator.
Which means I would have to switch on the fan manually if needed.
Decisions ... decisions ... but will see and decide when the engine is fitted.

Thank you.

My fan is controlled by a stack pro controller.......but the fan is removable and would be off the car for most tracks

Graeme,

That could be the tidiest engine bay I have ever seen. Congratulations on a first class job.

One question - the car is right hand drive? So the hydraulic lines run behind the dash from the reservoirs to the master cylinders?

Thanks,

Andy.
