I found this thermostat house to connect my thermostat indicator in.
It's from an Austin Allegro and will work well.

That thread looks very large! also, beware that the capillary tube will need supporting where it goes into the head, if you don't it will break.

Thanks for the advice, to be continued.

How about a 12A408?

Even better opinion, hope to find one as an option. Thanks mate.

Plenty for sale over in Aus if you need one

I don't think it will work with the engine steady

The first set up is ready.

On left the picture the one I bought from Mark, using that one seemed not to work together with the part I already had. Did ask my nabur if he could think of something to make it fit.
He made a complete new one for me so the one from Mark is left on the shelf. This is what I call serious oldskool "WORKS" craftsman ship.

When fitting Amot control equipment into thermocouple pockets (1960's ) on cooling water rails, the fact that the sensing bulb is not in direct contact with the cooling medium heatsink compound was always advised.
Also Kees make sure that bleed all air out you don't want your sensor sitting in a big air bobble.

Many thanks I will keep that in mind.
I also have the original gauge in the dash.
