New mounting location for Water Sensor

I was going to have a custom adaptor made to fit the new Temp sensor in, but the shop said it can't be done. I desided to take another look inside the bay. Wow, I found another way to put the water temp sensor in. To the front of the enigine is a hex screw just sitting there. I unscrewed it and out came radiator fluid. NICE!!!!!!! I put the adaptor that came withe the unit and here it is.

This is soooo much easier then any other idea I have seen to mount these things.
By the way, they are AutoMeter 1/8" fittings with metric adaptors.

I don't know if you'd get an accurate reading there though. You want the sensor near the themostat. But I guess it's close enough for Government work.
