Righto...

I\'ve found them on demon tweeks....

http://www.demon-tweeks.co.uk/products/ProductDetail.asp?cls=ROAD&pcode=GLOHA25

First of all... does anyone know what the rad hose size is on a FD? 25, 30, 32, 38 or 44mm?

Also, I bought 3 gauges a while back from ebay...

My next question is, does anyone know what size thread it is??

(http://i58.photobucket.com/albums/g279/weebockle/DSC00575.jpg)

The hose adapters can be bought in loads of different sizes!! Argh! All I want to do is fit a ruddy temp gauge! lol. I suppose I could buy a sender to match the adapter from demon tweeks, but that\'s more money, when I already have one here.

Any help much appreciated!!

If you end up buying the wrong hose adapter i could prolly send you a few adapters to make it fit as i have them laying around.
Will post em free if ya need em and i still have em.

ok mate, that\'s a generous offer.

I just don\'t know what size/thread size that it is!

Anyone know what the hose size is for the top rad hose?

take it to a nut and bolt supplies place ( like i did ) and keep trying different nuts until it fits and then ask them the size :D

its probably a bsp thread so doubt you will have a nut that fits it!

You might need to get an adaptor
