QUOTE(GregAmy @ Mar 27 2021, 03:26 PM)  Thanks, Rich. Any chance you offer one that's just a block off? Race car doesn't measure oil temp there. I could easily use the upper plate and just plug the hole with a bolt...but it won't look as spiffy. I do offer as an option the plate alone. HERE Typically offered for the owner with the issue this thread addresses. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/headbang.gif) They can use their OE sender & just replace the "Taco" plate & cover. |

THanks, Rich. That's still machined with the threads for a sensor, yes? I was curious if I could just get a flate plate, no hole for sendor.
No biggie, that one will do the same function -- with a bolt in it. |

Most type 4 engines have just a steel plate with no hole for the sensor.
Usually seal well with just the o-ring & copper washers. Jim |

@GregAmy It is.
Jim (IMG:style_emoticons/default/agree.gif) In fact IIRC the OE blanking plate is a bit thicker steel than the stock taco plate. But, if you after a cover of the same material/expansion rate as the case ... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/aktion035.gif) |
