Hi everyone,
I am installing a VDO transmission guage in my Toy, and need information on the size of the transmission coolant line. How is it measured (I mean o.d. or i.d.), what fittings might be used. By the way, I have sourced an "Inline Temperature Port & Distribution" part from Peterson Fluids System. Very well built, but I need to specify the hose (or pipe) size to order the part.
For those interested in this project, I have ordered a VDO "Cockpit" series - 400 degrees F. guage (part # 310 - 015), with a sender (part # 3223 - 050) - there are two probe lengths ( I ordered the 5/8 inch probe) and there is a 3/8 inch probe also available.
Guage was approximately 42.00 and the sender was 18.00 - not including taxes and shipping.
Another item I am considering is a 3/8 inch MAGNETIC TRANSMISSION FILTER ; inline transmission filter (it has large magnetic element inside). Rated for 15,000 miles. Approximately 20.00 (not sure about import duties, taxes, and shipping. Any comments?
Cheers
Boots
