i'm jealous of all that space you guys have. [IMG]
Why not just use a sensor that inserts between the radiator fins? Something like this......
Not sure if you already solved your bulb socket issue. I rewired all of mine using new terminals. I searched forever for these and finally found...
I posted those plugs in the FAQ page a while back when I ran in to the same issue; they're called thermactor plugs. The dealership by me wanted...
