Just wondering if anybody knows the MSP upper radiator hose INNER diameter?
 
I've got a spare at home I can measure at lunch but IIRC it goes from 31mm to 28mm. the 31mm side connects to the rad, the 28mm side goes to motor. I'll measure it at lunch and get back to you.
 
that's what I did, got mine here

and I totally forgot to measure it at lunch, sorry. I'm 99% sure one end is 28mm and the other is 31mm. I'll try to remember again tonight
 
Damn that adapter is cool. Too bad I cant use one.... My radiator hoses are all copper.

Yes, that's what I'm going to get. I saw the other how-to about building a tee and sticking in the sensor, but this is essentially the same thing, but looks cleaner IMO.

Actually, Crazee D measured it for me and he found that it was 1-1/8" by the radiator and 1-3/16" going to the engine block. So convert that and its about 28.5 mm to 30.2 mm sizing. I'll be getting the 30mm fitting, which is perfect. The BuddyClub one is actually better b/c it is 1/8" NPT thread. The Greddy one I was initially going to get is 1/8" BSPT (meaning you need another adapter - $10) AND costs $10 more. Thanks boostisfun357! :)

1 of how it will be installed except you have to use your imagination as the hose goes under the hot pipe

that's perfect, thanks.

what did you do with that other screw on the adapter? is it for a ground or something?
