So i was thinking about an idea I had the other day for a bracket that would go over the gms1 3 Bar sensors to hold it in place. Especially on the plastic factory lower charge pipe. I was thinking something out of hard plastic or light wieght metal that would go under the bolt that holds the sensor down. And then loop tightly over the sensor to hold it down in place and then have a screw whole to screw down into the second spot where the stock sensors screwed into. What do you guys think of the idea ? I don't have the know how to build them. Anyone have the knowledge to build them and sell them to members ?

 

Is this some sort of common problem?

 

Not overly. The top sensors on the intake mani always seem to be just fine. They are into aluminum and can probably be tightened down more. I have read of a few lower tmap sensor's leaking for a few different reasons. Some are wrong seals. Some are sitting crooked because of install or for what ever reason. Mine seems to be fairly tight. But it wiggles abit if I try to move it. The bracket idea would just give them abit more strengh as well as peace of mind.

 

Did that on my lower to change the orientation 90 degrees and get the wires away from the AC or radiator fan.

 

What did you use to act as a bracket to be able to seure them down better ?

 

take a look at the bracket for the baro sensor on LSJ. it would be perfect fit

 

I owned an 06 lsj for 5 years before my lnf. But i'm not really to sure which sensor you are talkong about let alone the bracket. Any pics of siad sensor and bracket ?

 

Made one. Small square of metal, a whizzy wheel, a drill. Boom. Done.

 

Was that you, Sox? I remember that someone had a really fancy mounting plate the turned it 90 degrees.

 

Turned it 90 degrees, yes. fancy? hell no.

 

somebody had a milled piece. it looked fancy.
