Recommend me a sandwich plate (off topice to gauges)
want to get a sandwich plate that will replace my oem oil to water cooler once i get the fm thermostat cooler.
if you don't know the fm is designed to use the stock cooler as a spacer or you have to buy a spacer from them/have one made. was going to use a sandwich plate as the spacer so i could run my oil presser and temp gauge senders off of it. |

I've already got my OP sensor in the block, and OT in the pan, so I just need a blank spacer. C |
Yeah, when you buy the 1.6 model of their thermostat plate, you get an aluminum spacer that is dimensionally identical to the 1.8 oil-water exchanger. (They also send a 1.8-length threaded tube.)
So just ask 'em for that spacer. Or, you could always leave the stock cooler in place. If you DD this car, it's nice to have it there as a preheater. |

Wow. I was really about to come in here and recommend anything with salami or roast beef.
On the actual topic, sorry, I'm a clueless noob. |
John and I told you what to do yesterday. Just keep the stock cooler and you will continue to win at life, just don't hook it up.

Put the sensor probe in the pan or get a #10 union with a port in it. Their out there, and I think LRE in Irving has them.
You may also be about to double stack plates on top of the stock cooler. |

It's easy, drill into the passenger side of the pan. The oil pan holds the real temp reading .

You could just cut it, no spacer needed.
