After a second sensor failure I fitted the replacement sensor by means of a
'P' clip to the top of the air duct for the oil/water radiators and
connected it to the engine with 0.3 metres of Speedflex SS braided Teflon
hose with 1/8" NPT terminals. 17.80p from Earls Performance Products of
Silverstone. (PFA Mod. No. 10708).
Fitted nearly 100 hours ago and no failure since.
