    Additional Coolant Sensor Location

    Any advice on a location for fitting an additional coolant temperature sensor?
    I have considered utilising one of the two drainage ports in the block. Other thoughts?

    My Thor has an unused threaded hole at the front of the inlet manifold.
    I drilled a hole in a bolt of the correct size and put the sensor inside the bolt with conductive paste, then epoxied the sensor in.

    I bought the MadMan kit which has a coupling that you put in the middle of the top radiator hose. Requires the top radiator hose to be cut in half, but allowed the fitment of a temperature sensor and low level sensor.
