oil temperature sensor for air cooled ??

Post by Spoonz1980 »

Hi all
Can anybody advise what sort of temp sensor is compatible with my 2 litre air-cooled. I've looked on just kampers and the dipstick type won't fit a t25 and sump plug sensors are only available for t4.
Cheers

Sorry don't know much about air cooled but have a read, looks to me like the oil pressire relief valve is the same for Aircooled and wbx

Type 4 pressure relief valve plugs are bigger... Totally different case to that of the wbx & type 1 case
