Fs: Custom Water Temp Probe Adapters

[vegas_touge]

im selling some custom water temp probe adapters...the way they work is you cut yer upper radiator hose in half and fit the adapter between the hoses then screw your water temp gauge probe in (just like the greddy adapter but it will work with a variety of probes NOT just greddys)...no having to drill holes in your block or take out your stock temp guage probe...these are made to fit whatever probe you may have (i am making a variety of thread sizes up as most probes are different sizes)

im asking $20 (please add 3% if ordered thru paypal) per adapter...the first batch im having made will all be in black (im planning on having them powder coated in a variety of colours eventually)...i will lower the price to $15 each if 2 or more are bought

PM me, email me, or send em a message on AIM (krayziekarma2ooo those are O's not zeros) if you would like one

Just so you know, the powdercoating on an item exposed to high temperature may be a bad idea. Powdercoating can be removed by high temps, and I certainly wouldn't want the excess crap in my cooling system.

If the adapters are being made out of aluminum (which I'd assume they are) you're probably going to want to have them anodized. Besides, powercoating can chip/scratch/etc., anodized aluminum stays all bling bling :)

only problem with that is anodized aluminum tends to fade.. i dont think he is having any part of it what would touch coolent coated.. just the outside part i belive..

Ok...gotcha. That should be fine. It may chip away over time due to heat, but so long as nothings mixing with the coolant it's ok :)

the only part thats going to be powder coated is the black part u see in the pic above...its not being exposed to the antifreeze...each adapater will be cleaned down with wire wool and then spray with brake cleaner to ensure each one is clean and not loaded with contanminants...and im pretty damn sure the powder coating will handle the tempratures...nutsacks 4G63 valve cover and intake manifold are powder coated and they havent chipped, bubbled, or warped at all (the paint i mean) so im pretty sure the powder coated colour will be fine
