I am in for one, need to update the westach unit on the engine dyno. How about 12mm senders? We don't use 14mm plugs here.

just a heads up, dakota digital sells 18 foot 14mm type k tc's for $26.00

if someone had a line on 14mm ring terminals, the tc's are super simple to make.

i'll price the type k wire at work tomorrow. i bet i could make them for 5 bucks a piece.

and since cold junction isnt an issue, we could put nice little quick disconnects close to the ring termimal. for easier engine removal. thats how i have mine set up.

A 14mm ring terminal is nothing more than a 1/2" cad plated copper electrical ring terminal with the hole drilled out. A 12mm ring terminal is really a 1/2" ring.

I used to make TCs for the Space sim lab at Lockheed Martin.

To do it right you need to twist the ends and spot weld them with a tiny bench-top welder.
Then we would put the tip in an oven and heat them to ~200C and then dip them in Liquid Nitrogen (-180C), then right back in the oven. If they survived that, they were good to go.

That type would be acceptable for clamping directly under a spark plug once or twice.
I wouldnt trust that much more than that unless you had a "washer" type protective sheath.

If you wanted to make them for EGTs, then they would need a threaded "probe".

ya, i didnt use that process when i made mine. i used the ol strip and crimp method. might not be good enough for the space shuttle, but it worked perfectly on my 914. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif)

Thanks for the offer, but I really like the company I have already chosen. They have an excellent reputation. If anybody would like to back out of the group buy and purchase the guage direct and sensors from mrbubblehead, just send me a pm and I will remove you from the list.

I was thinking about modifying the dash and mounting it where my heater controls are.
