Radiator Thermo Switch

[Richie-Van-GTi 70 2 Cars]

bit stupid of me, just got a nissens rad delivered and Im pretty certain the hole for the thermo switch is in the wroong place. Can someone confirm where this is? I was sure it was just below the rad top hose but this one seems to be near the bottom on other side above the main outlet hose. Does look like theres a large bung screw below the top hose that can maybe be moved to the other hole?

thanks

Yes it goes under the top hose, are you sure you can't extend the wire? It's just that I had to scrap my last radiator as it was leaking around the plastic bung, I think the thread is delicate and easily broken and the last owner had taken it off at some point and trashed the thread putting it back on again.

I probably could extend the wiring but dont want to if it can be avoided. I'll try moving the bung, its brand new so all the threds should be spot on.

Thanks for replying, saved me fitting a rad to find out it was wrong.

I just swapped the bungs/switch round - seems to have worked and no leaks

You may need a swich that operates at a different temp.

On 1 rad your reading the inlet temp, the outlet on the other.

swapped the bung round so I now have a new thermo switch in a new ally rad where the old stuff was.
