Anyone happen to know the thread size of the temp switch in the bottom of the later radiator?
The new alloy one didn't come with a plug for it.
Cheers

Ah-ha its a trick question: The later radiators didn't have threads for the sensors it was a plug fitting!

It looks like its something mini spares did? I thought it was 7/8 unf but the dia seems ok but the pitch is out,
Just trying to save my self walking down to the shed and breaking out the thread gauges.
