I am just wondering what size adapter I would need for the temp sender from a autometer nv temp gauge to fit in the sender spot on the rear rotor housing.

You can drill and tap the water pump housing that it just beside the CAS. There's a flat spot that's a perfect area with lots of room and you don't even have to drain the cooling system much to do so. Most AutoMeter gauges use 1/8" NPT threads on the senders.

I would have gone with the autometers you have but cash is a little harder to come by at the moment. Again thanks for the help.

Well I didn't say you had to buy AutoMeter Nexus gauges. 
But most electrical AutoMeter (and other) gauges come with 1/8" NPT senders so it's probably safe to say that almost any gauge you buy will fit 1/8" NPT.
In general I don't recommend that you get any mechanical gauge. The electrical gauges are only slightly more expensivce and MUCH less of a pain in the *** to install. Also you don't have to plumb hot pressurized fluids into the cabin.
