James,
Modern car engines are designed to run with water temperatures up to 110deg
C (as it leaves the engine, before cooling in the rad) - the pressurised
water boils at a higher temperature than water normally does at room temp
(i.e.100deg C).
Our old engines should (all being well!) be running at rather less than
that, the available thermostats are all designed for noticably lower
temperatures, I think the highest-temp themostat I've spotted sold for a
Spit is 190F - 88C. So water temperature should be well within the gauge
range.
Where will the cabin temp sensor go? On a cool day, with the top down and
the heater on, my feet are probably 10deg warmer than my ears!
