Thanks Howard, that is an interesting article. After reading it through and checking all the pics, I think I could do the sleeve-solder bit, but not so sure about filling the sensor bulb with ether and immersing it in ice water and SALT, what's with the salt????
If anybody has a sensor bulb in their 'for sale' pile, I'd sure be interested. Preferably with the retaining nut, but if not, we are dealing with standard fine thread and I think it would be fairly straight forward to shorten a 5/8"-fine bolt and drill a hole through it to make one.
I will continue to pursue Wolf's and will also scour the regular sources for a complete gauge with capillary tube and sensor already attached, although I think the odds of that are pretty long.
