    Glad to hear you got it installed and it's working. I had to cut the grass today, so I thought I'd share my readings. It was 75 (24c)...

    I like it too - $80 (Australian) on eBay for the whole sensor and gauge kit.

    I always seem to struggle with wiring, but managed to get the temperature gauge mounted and wires connected. And it seems to be working...

    Don't have temp readings yet, but I got the sensor mounted in the same spot that you used alongside the first injector. I used the...

    I like where you've mounted the sensor - thanks for the info. Think I'll try to do mine the same way instead of making a fitting for the...
