Oil level plug mod for autometer temp sensor

Ok I know this is not the most usefull mod but I have a autometer oil temp sensor so instead of drilling a hole in the pan im gonna use the oil level sensor hole as its not being used. I know there is a company out there that makes them but for $43 to ship to Canada for a fitting... you got to be insane to pay that. So I made my own and would be willing to make more if anyones interested in them

heres what it looks like

Re: Oil level plug mod for autometer temp sensor

just buy an axle drain plug for a toyota axle at any parts store for $3, then drill/tap it for 1/8" npt and you have the same thing. Shipping from canada is insane on parts.

shipping isnt that bad man. My buddy said he can do it for $25 shipped. All you need is the autometer temp sensor and your good to go.
