Wow guys, such enthusiasm - how did we all go so long without an oil temp gauge :-) ?

Well, I have received requests for 50 of these plugs now. I'll keep the list going, but I think I'm almost in over my head. I'll try to get 10-15 out per week over the next 6 weeks and not forget anyone.

I am also in for one of the plugs. Also put my vote in on the VDO guage on the other thread.

Tom M'Guinn

I'd like to join the list too. No hurry or pressure though.

Hey guys, update... So, I have requests for 56 of the drain plugs. I have finished the first run of 10 plugs and will have the senders to put in them by Friday. I am working on these first ones slowly to document all the measurements and establish test procedures. If I'm gonna make >50 of these, I need to make it efficient :-) They will be tested for leakage (ie. no leakage) and continuity (the sender establishs its ground with the plug).

For the rest, I intend to use the egauges.com group buy discount to buy all the senders as I need almost 50 of them. TurboX and I should have that wrapped up and live in the next day or so, then I can order the senders and you guys can start ordering whatever products you want from egauges.com. We will post the details when we get them - discount, products covered by the group buy, active dates for the group buy, purchase procedures, etc.

I am also looking at the cost to me, and thus to you as I am not making any money on this, so I can establish final pricing. I think it will hold at $15 or maybe +/- $1. I have to figure in Paypal expense, tools, etc. When I'm making this many, I will go through a tap or 2 and a couple of drill bits. I think the discount on the senders should cover these expenses and keep the cost at $15. I'm not trying to change things on you guys now, just being honest that the price may change +/- 10%.

So, the proud recipients of the first lot of 10 sender plugs are:

tedwright
mwc951
TurboX
Evan70
Eric in Chicago
Gator_86_951

If any of you would like to opt out, let me know asap and I can take you off the list. Pricing and payment instructions to follow in the next day or so.

Cheers !!

BTW, I found almost the exact same thing I am making at the following link:

Subaru WRX plug

The Subaru WRX has the same drain plug threads. Note that the plug on that site does not include the gauge sender for the listed price !

The plugs I am making look almost exactly the same as that one.

Jason Judd

So, are you going to bill us; or are we going to get a PayPal request for payment?

Jason

Campeck

put me in for one as well. turbo projects need oil info

pcarphanatik

FYI, that is because autometer bundles the sender w/the gauge.

However, that does make yours a better deal!

brad-cam

I'll send you guy payment instructions in the next day or so. I don't want to take anyone's money until the end. If you like, anyone who has asked for one can PM me their paypal ID so I can send a paypal request to you when ready to ship.

Thanks... bear with me, this is my first time doing this...

michael2e

I'd like to get in on this if it's not a chore to build more. I'm in no hurry to receive just grateful for the deal

hally

put me down for one also, thanks!
