I want to know who has successfully tapped it for a 1/8" sending unit? It looks awefully thin. Can it be done? I have seen it but I forgot to ask what he used to do it. If I tap and die it will it hold the bolt in? RTV or Teflon paste? Which would be better?

Alex put a fabricated metal adapter thing in the middle of the upper radiator hose.

Geo has these over at Nissport. I want to get this but I realize the NX upper radiator hose and the SE-R upper radiator hose are different lengths. In between the bends are not as straight for the NX. I know because I got an SE-R upper radiator hose and hadto cut the ends because it was too long. I am weighing my options now. Their 3 way oil T is killer. It is smaller than the T I have and can hold 3 fittings. That is a must!
