<VV> ADV/thermister adapter / other gauges

[Dave Thompson]

Keith,
Lengthen the probe using 18 ga auto wires. Just make sure that the
connections are very good. The instrument works on resistance and you don't
want to introduce more resistance with a bad connection.

Try  http://www.westach.com/ They make wonderful instruments. They have a 2"
CHT for about $50.00. You can get either a probe with threads to screw into
the head or a ring to go under a spark plug. I have used many Westach
instruments in a variety of aircraft and I have never had one fail. They may
be a little pricy, but they are one of the best. 

Another brand that is very good is autometer.

Use their advanced gauge search. They are available at most auto speed shops
or on line.

Good Luck,

Dave Thompson

Thanks for the offers on the NOS and used thermistor's!  With the low
priority of the temp sensor and gauge does anybody have a low cost
alternative?  If I can come up with a cost effective alternative then it
might get moved up in priority over a working radio!

 

Let's have some ideas and actual working alternatives.

 

I also have sent a request to Clark's asking about a repo thermistor for
the group.  I will let you know when I get a reply.
