mouting a sensor for datalogging
anyone can draw a simple picture with "paint" for me, as this souds like latin for me..drilling a hole in the header doesn't sound good to me. If someone could send me a drawing to gino.passchier@pandora.be already sended it to Nico vanakeleyen ( mercury racing Belgium) and he's also scratching he's nuts. Tought we understood a bit english.... guess not...damn laguage barrier.
thx in advance

" A number of teams have already fitted the EGT sensor into their exhaust headers. In some cases in the collector just in front of the coupling between the collector and the tailpipe. In other cases just behind the coupling.
True, this has to pass through the double skin of the exhaust pie wall. This is accomplished by turning a small, top-hat sectioned boss, then boring a hole through both skins and fitting the boss through the external skin so that it protrudes just through the inner skin. The boss must be position close to the coupling flange. This will allow for the boss to be welded from both the inside and outside faces. Done properly, this will provide an access for the sensor through the double skin section while still maintaining the integrity of the manifold water system.
One team has managed to find a way of fitting the sensor through the coupling itself."
