Re: Sealing Temperature Gauge Lead

If you are using the stock gauge and sender possibly there is rust or corrosion preventing the nut from threading all the way. If that is not it or can't be corrected, I was able to seal an aftermarket sender nut that was too short and had the same slide problem by using a heavy O ring. Found one that fit around the bulb snugly in the faucet washer section at the hardware store. It was about 1/8" thick and supposed to be able to withstand high temp. The ring sealed the front of bulb to the head and also pushed the bulb out far enough the nut was able to seal the rear side. So far, so good.
