I made a simple recess box by glassing over the end of a box large enough to 
hold the sender base and that is all, then cut the hole just large enough to 
allow the sender "box" to be pressed into the tank and floxed into place, after 
having cut open for the sender/float assembly and drilling for the mounting 
screws. Floxed into tank top, then mounted sender, then floxed cut out piece 
back into place, with small channel dremelled out for the wires to the 
firewall, and on to the gauge. Pictures shows this on my web page.

Hello Net

After reading about sender locations on Bennett's site, I opened the cowl this 
morning and started moving them around.  First of all I noted that the hole in 
the head designed for the installation of the factory CHT probe is located on 
the just about where my second spark plug  is located.  If this head were 
located on the bank with the #3 cylinder, the would be roughly above the #3 
intake port.  Since I had 4 cylinder CHT, I removed the number 2 and 4 probes 
and relocated them.  The number 4 probe is now located on the head bolt which 
is closest to the #3 exhaust.  and the #2 probe is now located on the head bolt 
just below the #2 intake on the head bolt.  The number one and three plugs 
still have their senders in place.  There is a big difference in the temp at 
that #3 head bolt as compared to the temp at the #3 spark plug.  Near the end 
of a 5 minute run at full power, the plug mounted probe read 525 and the #3 
head bolt mounted probe read 375.  I made a few other mods today in an effort 
to reduce heat.  I wrapped the turbo and part of the exhaust pipes.  I also 
moved the induction pipe between the turbo and the splitter going to the left 
and right manifolds.  This was done in an effort to lift the pipe up away from 
the heat of the #3 cylinder and to allow better air flow under it and around 
the #3 head.  Tomorrow I will make permanent mounts for the fuel pump, 
regulator and wiring and install a switch.  I will operate the pump during take 
off and anytime where I will use WOT and or full boost.  Perhaps by tomorrow 
evening I will be back in the air.
