Greddy makes them, you cut the top radiator hose in half and plumb in the pipe adaptor with the bung for the sensor.http://www.greddy.com/prod_gauge_accessories.htm

you can find it on ebay or buy one from spl parts, personally I'd go with greddy since greddy has a blinger name and that it's only like 15$ at a local shop

Thanks guys. I couldn't for the life of me find what I needed. On the greddy which 1 do you use for the 240? 30mm?

make sure you measure the interior diameter and not the exterior diameter

Check your pile of KA parts I found my thing to mount my probe in the left over parts from the KA and it works great. Then I just took it to Home Depot and got the fittings I needed and jerry rigged some stuff.

The water temp prob for the factory gauge? Use the KA one if your running the KA cluster.
