disabling coolant level sensor

[rx4ur7]

Yes, what kind of radiator is it? 1 800 radiator or Performance Radiators are 99% correct except for not being aluminum. Fit well, just aren't as effective as Al unless you get something much bigger. And then there is the cost in that much weight in the front of the car.
Just a point, to make a copper core radiator as effective as an AL you need a lot more core. And they weight a lot more than the Al. I haven't seen that copper cores in the FC or FD in Tucson`work very well.

BTW Thread is 12mm x 1.25

It is a ground switch, water touching it completes the ground circuit.
This is why rubber mounts are not recommended, unless you use a jump wire from one of the rad mount bolts to chassis.

It's an afco radiator and I custom made mounting locations for the temp and level sensor. I also tried a 12mmx1.25 and it didn't work. Oh well, in the mean time I'm just grounding it out and plugging the hole.

I thought that the reason for insulating the radiator from the chassis with rubber mounts was to prevent electrolysis in the coolant system?


As far as the threads not working: Perhaps its what's called "interference" thread? I used a tap and die set from Snap on, and when I tried to "die" a stripped stud on a coilover, it did not want to work with me, however I knew for a fact that it was the right thread size....

Sometimes threads are just funky like that. also, if you do "Thread chase" it, make sure to have the radiator upside down so that all the metal shavings dont end up in there!
