By the way, do you live up by the Cherokee National Forest? I have family that lives just the other side of the mountains, between Blowing Rock and Lenoir, NC. It's definitely what I would call God's country.
Truckster.....as a matter of fact I got a PM this morning from the member that I did that first one for.....he finally got it installed and said it worked just fine.....
There is enough material on the sensor for the 3/8 NPT.......but that's the limit.
I cut an old one apart to verify...

I live near the Cherokee NF but I live on the Tennessee side.....about 30 minutes from the infamous "Tail of the Dragon" highway 129 through Deals Gap into North Carolina.

If you want one modified...I'd be happy to do it.....
