Hello all,
 
     I'm hoping someone out there can give me an answer to yet another 
issue I have on my restoration I  have a "early" TR-2, TS 1084L, well 
I'm putting together my TR2 gauges and I had a thermostat gauge rebuilt 
awhile ago. Anyways, the sensor end basically fit inside of the hole 
that it threads into. It looks like about 1/2 inch pipe threads. My 
question is, does anyone else out there has the "early' double 
thermostat housing, whether the sensor threads is larger than the later 
cars? Or is there an adaptor that one uses? There is also one other 
possibility, once upon a time it had to be cut apart to remove a busted 
sensor that no one could get out. Maybe they made the opening larger? 
I'm unsure.
 
Also, anyone out there have an extra early TR-2 shift lever for the gearbox?
 
 
thanks, Mike
