aftermarket gauge sensor ?

stock sensor for water temp gauge is in the rear iron, close to oil pressure sensor
i have never seen aftermarket gauge with such small sensor to fit stock location

its not big deal to install sensor into water pump housing, close to sensor for ECU

My blitz sensor fit in the stock location 1/8" NPT but some people say the stock sensor locations is 1/8 BSPT (?) but mine fit's fine. Maybe the teflon tape I used made up from the difference?
