Temp sensor off exhaust

Are there any different temp sensors for the pass side to keep wire off hedders?

Re: Temp sensor off exhaust

Are you talking about the fan switch in the pass side head? SLP used a 90 degree fitting there for the switch.

ok I didn't think about just using a basic 90 and thread sensor into that 👍

Re: Temp sensor off exhaust

I folded the wire over so it runs back towards the engine and zip tided it around the sensor to hole it in place. It hangs closer to the engine far away from the headers.

On the factory connector there is a small hook on one side just for that.
