temp guage wire repair?

[JamesM007]

Hello FABO,

what would be the best way to repair this wire? There was an L angle fitting that slipped over the threaded stud on the head, the L fitting is long gone.

Thanks.

A crimp on ring terminal and a washer and nut on the sender works well.
The red one is the size you need.

There's one listed on this page if you don't mind 5 bucks

I've never found a good source for a right angle, but there are many female "bullet" connectors that might work

Thank you, that helps, didn't know if the L angle fitting made a difference.

If you use a ring terminal, toothed washer, and nut, good luck. Nut should screw on with fingers. don't force it or over tighten. Otherwise sender damage can occur.
I have found that mfgrs don't hold close thread tolerances where it wasn't req'd.
Most common example I've seen is gauge posts. The stamped tin speedy nuts they used would screw on but a true 10-32 nut would not.
Other applications like a farm tractor does have ring terminals and nuts on their temp senders so we know that sender must have proper threads.
What China makes for our application.... we cant take anything for granted.
