If you need it back I would be happy to return it after I get the gauge/sender bulb back from being repaired. If you would rather sell it I would be happy to purchase it as this problem might present itself again in another 50 or so years. </div><div class="gmail_default" style="color:#3333ff"><br></div><div class="gmail_default" style="color:#3333ff">Please advise how you would like to proceed. In the meantime I must say that I kind of enjoy driving the car with no functioning water temp gauge and so far as I know I have not once overheated in traffic.</div><div class="gmail_default" style="color:#3333ff"><br></div><div class="gmail_default" style="color:#3333ff">It occurs to me that since I will have to remove the "safety gauge" I will also have to deal with blanking off the OP sending line at one end or other of the flex hose. Do you know what thread is used and where I could obtain either a cap for the fitting where it comes out of the block or a plug where the copper line attaches to the flex line?</div><div class="gmail_default" style="color:#3333ff"><br></div><div class="gmail_default" style="color:#3333ff">Best--Michael Oritt</div><div class="gmail_default" style="color:#3333ff"><br></div></div><div class="gmail_extra"><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Sun, Oct 18, 2015 at 9:53 AM, Michael Salter <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:michaelsalter@gmail.com" target="_blank">michaelsalter@gmail.com</a>></span> wrote:<br><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex"><div dir="ltr"><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:comic sans ms,sans-serif;font-size:small">Hi Michael,<br>Just measured the threads on the nipple on a BN1 radiator.<br>I get 20 T.P.I. with 0.650" O.D.<br></div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:comic sans ms,sans-serif;font-size:small">There is no thread like that on any of my thread tables so I suspect that it may be a Smiths special.<br></div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:comic sans ms,sans-serif;font-size:small">If you can find someone with a 6 cylinder radiator they all have the same nipple on them which is not used and on that nipple is a special cap...part # AHB5401 which is what I use in your situation.<br></div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:comic sans ms,sans-serif;font-size:small">I have one in stock which I will gladly send you if you can't find something locally.<br><br></div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:comic sans ms,sans-serif;font-size:small">Michael S<br></div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:comic sans ms,sans-serif;font-size:small">BN1 #174<br><a href="http://www.netbug.net/blogmichael/" target="_blank">http://www.netbug.net/blogmichael/</a><br></div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:comic sans ms,sans-serif;font-size:small"><br></div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:comic sans ms,sans-serif;font-size:small"><br></div></div><div class="gmail_extra"><br><div class="gmail_quote"><div><div class="h5">On Sun, Oct 18, 2015 at 7:33 AM, Michael Oritt <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:michael.oritt@gmail.com" target="_blank">michael.oritt@gmail.com</a>></span> wrote:<br></div></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex"><div><div class="h5"><div dir="ltr"><div class="gmail_default" style="color:rgb(51,51,255)">I forgot to mention that this is on a BN1:</div><span><div class="gmail_default" style="color:rgb(51,51,255)"><br></div><div class="gmail_default" style="color:rgb(51,51,255)"><div class="gmail_default" style="font-size:12.8px"><i>"I must remove the temperature gauge and sender from my car for repair.
