I would just use the Greddy adaptor piece for this...it's cheaper. And no, 29mm is not the right size.
EDIT - 38mm is the correct size....which Mahjik just posted below.

I have a greddy 38 mm hose adapter in my upper radiator hose. I had to drill and tap it to get it to fit my sender. After a while, I decided that I didn't like that I didn't get any readings during warm up. Since the sender was after the thermotat, it didn't tell me anything until it opened. I installed a second sender in the throttle body coolant line. It was much easier to install, and gives me readings all the time. Since I had both senders installed at the same time, I was able to see if temp readings were the same from both senders. They were identical. The only reason that my greddy adapter is still there is because I have not gotten around to removing it yet.
The throttle body coolant line is unquestionably the best location for your coolant sender.

Not that it matters, but i was thinking about eliminating the coolant lines that go to the TB as i live in florida and there is no possibility of the TB freezeing over. However after seeing this install i may go this rout as it looks easier to install and could possibly yeild more accurate readings.
