Not sure how I'm going to do that with the water temp sensor mounted in a t-fitting between two pieces of hose, unless I mount it in the stock location haha. I think I might just do that anyway, and see if the stock sensor can mount where I have the aftermarket sensor right now.
The stock water temp gauge sender is a one-terminal type too, so it's body needs to be grounded. If you're going to move that one to a T-fitting between rubber hoses, as long as T fitting is metal, you can add a wire to the T fitting (solder or clamp it) and then connect that wire to ground.
