Anybody know of a source that can provide the "taco plate" with the oil temp sender option? How about an option for modifying my current plate to accept the sender? Any ideas?

I asked the same question a while ago and got the same underwhelming response. One tip was to drill your current plate, and fasten the sender through it with a nut and an o-ring or two. I haven't tried that yet, but plan on doing so as soon as I fix a few other things. Good luck.

Dan - Had a few offers and they are expensive.
One of the offers talked about a plate - is there a cover plate that encapsulates the sender and protects it from road gunk?

yes. there is a cover too. the offers should include the plate, the cover, the sender, and the wire. check the prices at the bird! i didn't even see the taco plate itself, listed.

For the general knowledge of the board, the "taco plate" and cover, together with the small bracket that goes on the right side, and the gasket and o-ring are still available from the dealer. The combined total is around $130.00. That's without the sending unit. I have a set on the shelf, and I've had it for around 15 years. I will sell it, but I want my money out of it, something most of you find unappealing. Mark and I looked for used ones yesterday, and came up dry. The Cap'n

and the bird gets $33.75+ship for just the sender. add it up. what might appear to be exspensive, could in fact be a bargin.
