I have seen several posts over the years about the probe being too long for aftermarket temperature sensors that are advertised for the TO30. I have now just bought one with the same issue, and a photo is attached. The probe hits the far side before the threads can engage. If I use an adapter, only a very tiny portion of the probe emerges at the far end into the coolant flow. Has anyone found a sensor that just screws in and fits without any adapter? If so, details on part number and source would be much appreciated. Thanks!
PS: an adapter from 3/8 flare (with 5/8-18 threads) on the probe I have to any 5/8-18 thread (straight, O-ring, flare) would work by extending the unit slight outward, but none seems to be available as far as I have been able to determine.
