This winter I'm planning on putting a 1275  in the Bugeye.It looks like one 
just unscrews the mechanical temp sensor from the radiator and then screws it 
 into the head. From what I see, there is a small "adaptor"  tube which is 
needed. No problem so far,------but what do you close off the hole in the 
radiator with? Is this just a pipe fitting plug from  the hardware store? I 
thought some british pipe thread was not tapered. Any thoughts?  Also, where 
are folks attaching oil temp senders?  In my collection of odd parts, I have 
a banjo bolt which looks as if it might be the answer.  The head has been 
drilled and tapped . THis is the bolt which attaches the solid oil line to 
the block. Does this sound familiar to anyone?      Bob C
