I 've got a set of aftermarket heads and I forgot to drill and tap the heater shut off boss before everything got bolted together. Is there some kind of gizmo that will let me run a head temp sender and a heater off of one boss, reliably? (and that doesn't look goofy)
I think I know the answer, pull the head and tap it sometime before winter, but thought I'd ask.
thanks
Bill

Personally, I'd just run without the Excess Temp switch until I had a real good reason to pull the head.
