Where to fit oil temperature sensor on my xflow?


Does anyone know where I can fit my oil temperature sensor on to my 1650 xflow. The sensor is 1/8" which I understand is the usual standard. Some one mentioned the LMA adapter which replaced the sump plug. Does anyone know the xflow sump plug thread size as the LMA options are 12 x 1.25, 12 x 1.5, 14 x 1.5 16 x 1.5 - any of there fit? Or is there another way?

thanks
Guy

    Easiest would be a sandwich plate off the oil filter. Check ebay.

    I can't see why they would be any less accurate.
