Re: Temperature gauge line to head???

Pat, yes, if I cut the line, the gauge is toast. I have emailed Wolf Instruments to see what the 'damages' will be. My current problem at hand is, the sending unit is in the head, the retaining nut that is sealing it in there is sheared off, flush with the head and the only way I know to get it out of there is to drill it and either 'get lucky' with an easy-out, or drill it close enough to the thread size that I can tap it. Either way, I destroy the sender unit. I really don't see that I have any other choice though - the big question is: are the sender units available and how big a deal is it to reattach one to my existing line??? I sure would like to get the thread spec on that retaining nut though.
