Hi, i'm sure this has been covered before but can't find anything searching. I have fitted a new loom but the fitting for the sensor is a bullet and the original on the head is a spade fitting. The thread on the spade fitting is straight and the thread on a bullet fitting sensor is tapered so won't fit. Any ideas?

I dont really know the answer m8 but i do know my F2 has a spade on the loom,and on the temp sender......but i bought another temp sender for it and that had a bullet end on it and is tapered  Its no biggie to just change the connector to fit  |

If you dont want to chop your new loom , go to your local car parts store and get a new sender for a 3ltr diesel landrover or discovery cost you about a fiver , should have the male bullet and the same resistance  may have the part no somewhere |

Why not make a converter lead with a bullet connector one end & a spade the other  OEB |

I think ypvs senders were tapered thread and lc was straight, if you need an lc sender with a spade connector let me know I have 2 spare.

Thanks Mellow!!  I like to have the right part for the job and I find it annoying when parts are supereceeded and they don't quite do the same job. very common on older jap bikes. Delbert, do you have that part no?? Cheers. |

I had the opposite problem with the head. Mine a YPVS y3 head with tapered head and wanted to use the blade type straight thread.
Had to use the tapered thread bullet one and make a converter wire.
