I recently bought two '79 MGB's for combining into one working car. The
first had a block stuffed between the large upper radiator hose and the
sensor to keep it in. The second car's PO evidently had it with the sensor,
plugged the hole, and wired a switch in for the fans.
This works ok, IF you are aware enough to remember to switch on the fans
every time you stop for more than a minute with the engine running. The
engine I removed from the second car has serious problems. Coincidence?
Probably not.
I'd suggest this: Using a small piece of PVC pipe, notch one end to go
around the sensor. Make the other end concave so it will stay on the large
radiator hose. Use a small piece of padding at the big hose to protect it
from fraying.
