best place is in or on the thermostat housing.
This is where the cooled coolant arrives after warm up.. and the hot coolant during warm up..then mixes together
wait
there's one already there

I think I'm suffering from an extreme case of 'needle paranoia' and have lost all faith in my existing gauge as its all over the place! ! Fancy putting in a digital one - had a bit of banter with ghost over this some time ago but finaally getting round to doing something about it! !!
