just plug the hole, why would you buy a sensor just to put it in place ? I'm sure you can get a plug for that. make sure is heat resistance smile.gif

buy a short bolt with a washer and some kind of rubber gasket to put in there.

correct. The same sensor on the STs are in the water neck instead of the radiator itself so just plug the hole and make sure it doesn't leak.

Nope, thread pitch design prevents this.

After I get off work I can....but I pretty much went to adv. auto bought a hose from a dif. car that looked like it would work. Cut it and zip tied the top part it to the fan (not in it but next to it. Then the bottom to part I pulled it away from the CAT and ziptied that part too a hard line (think it was the AC) and called it a day.

fyi, if that rad is aluminum( it looks to be) then a steel or stainless bolt will cause galvanic corrosion down the road, which will ruin the rad
