water temp guage install

i got a autometer mechanical water temp guage, i've taken off the water pump housing, now i wanna drill and tap to fit the temp guage. I already have 2 sensors at the back of the water pump housing, i dont' know why. This is a s5.

1 is for the water thermosensor and the other is for the auxillery fan for AC I believe, not positive about the 2nd one though just going from memory. You can drill and tap on the front of the wp housing below the tsat. Just make sure wherever you drill will not interfere with tstat movement.

It's not to cramped for the electric sensor...

Where ever you decide to put it....just put it south of the thermostat.
