Ah! Interesting - thank you Dennis :) I have two left heads then, as the hole also exists on the left side. Are there any issues with simply putting a bolt in there (to keep out dirt and dust)? If not, I'll just get a shorter bolt than the one I currently have, and snug it in there. Thanks for giving me peace of mind! Mike.

If you have two left side heads, no problem. If not, then install the sensor on that side and extend the wire. There is no problem if you leave the hole empty except a slight loss of cooling air. > > Dennis > > ----- Original Message ----- > From: Mike Jeffrey <oldbus@GMAIL.COM> > Date: Monday, June 20, 2005 11:07 pm > Subject: Re: What goes here? > > > Oops!
