Gen3 Temp sensor thread dimensions was created by KiwiZook
G'day guys,
Had a mech' swap a m18a I bought into my Gen3 Jimny.
He needed a hand tying up the loose ends and I'm a fabricator, ...
Last thing needs doing is modifying a coolant casting that came off the back of the old M13a motor to add an extra temp' sensor into the m18a VVT engine.
... does anyone know offhand what the brass thread on the Gen3 coolant temp sensors are please?
(Need to turn up a cap, TIG weld it into the casting to blank it off and then tap a new housing out for the sensor).
Thanks in advance.

Jumped the gun.
M12 x 1.5 it is.
Over complicated things by checking against nuts that had been put back in the wrong bin, ... you never want to put your nuts in the wrong bin.
