Water Temp Sensor On S13 With Rb20

[khoala]

I installed an autogauge water temp gauge today and came across a problem. The rb20det in an s13 engine bay takes up a lot of space, therefore i can't use the water temp adapter on the top radiator hose as it fouls on the water outlet and radiator inlet (im using an aluminium rad so its chunkier). The only real other option other than tapping a new thread into the water outlet pipe is to find a sensor that will fit into the stock water temp sensor (my sensor is 1/8", the factory sensor is 12mm) that is also compatible with the new gauge (same ohms as the autogauge sensor). My question is this:

- Does anyone know where i can buy a sensor that is compatible with the gauge but have the same thread pitch as the stock sensor?

- Does anyone know where i can buy thread adapters that merge 12mm to 1/8"?

- Does anyone else have any ideas of how else i can mount the temp sensor other than drilling/tapping into my outlet/radiator?

Im in the northern suburbs of melbourne, sorry for the long essay but ive been awake 30+ hours and this sh*t is pissing me off

Thanks a bunch dudes,

Khoa
