Well im clueless right now, im looking for a 1/8" to M12 x 1.75 adapter for my water temp and oil temp gauges, the ATM-2278 is jsut for pressure and the adapter isnt long enough to screw in the temp sender. Anyone know where i can get one? if not if someone could get a pic of the upper raidar hose and how to properly install a water temp gauge would be awesome. sorry about my english a bit tired now

 

According to Autometer's website, it can be used for either pressure or temperature. You should screw the 2278 adapter into the head and then the sending unit into the adapter.

does not work, ill take a pic as well, my c2 sender is just too long and wont even reach the threads of the adapter when inserted. see pic below ......after i upload it




^^ Thats as far as the sender goes into the adapter. The sender is from the autometer shortsweep c2 water temp series. i may just drill the hole out bigger for the sender to go father down in the adapter if there is no other solution

wow..........

if i read the fine print says i need a different sender.. GFG haha thanks for the person who helped me

 

Oh damn, that sucks. How much is the new sender?

 

12$ ehh thats fine, will pay for itsself if my car ever takes a ******* and i see the problem before it breaks down

 

Where exactly do I hook up the water temp sender to, I have some Cobalt gauges on the way and not sure where to install at? If someone could please help or just post a simple pic of where I would greatly appriciate it.

 

^ i jsut bought cobalt series, teh C2 was to bright for my eyes. I will be installing it in the upper raditior hose. once i figure out how to drain it haha

 

That's what I figured, but do you just cut a hole in the hose and put a nut on the back of the fitting inside the hose or are you going to get a steel fitting and cut into that to save the stock hose?

 

basically, you cut the hose, attach both ends of the hose to each side of the adapter and in the middle is a screw hole to screw in the sender.

 

Ah ok, does the adapter come with the gauge or do I need to buy it seperate? And if so where do I get it from?

 

Bump. had to search and use my OLD thread i created to answer the SAME question.. one day ill learn
