Happy you found an easier Way. Still a Comment for getting it done in the tight Space: You certainly have the Tools to create a Plug where you can glue in a Sensing Element yourself. Depending on how high your Demands are for the Responsiveness and Accuracy you can give it a similar Tip Shape as the one you bought. A generous blind Hole with a thin Wall towards the Medium is enough in most Cases. Depending on whether the Element is electrically isolated or not you can give it a thin Coat of some High Temperature Adhesive and give it Time to get tacky. Then mix some thermally conductive Filler in and fix it in the Plug. But unfilled is enough for a lot of uses. Really fancy would be hBN as a Filler. An other Way could be a (home made) Sensor with a Stud as one Side of the Sensing Element and the Case as the other. Thats for really tight Situations, but might give you to much electrical Noise. Often an angled Connector can be squeezed in and is better suited.
Very clever solution, too bad it didn't pan out. I especially liked the device you made to screw it in and out, as I was cringing at the thought of using a screwdriver on the adapter. Also, thank you for clarifying the engine type, I was thinking the whole time that it looked like an aviation installation 😁. Ciao, Marco.

Good guess. Sometimes projects that are a lot of fun don't work out. But it's a win because it was fun, and I learned how to thread mill NPT threads.
@@JohnSL No learning ever goes to waste.
I was going to say if you could have a angled hole.
Paine. Arlington or Renton or don't ask.
It's a good freind that can help keep the plane flying.
Almost. I gave a hint that I was under the flight path of another airport. As in, directly under. Can you guess now?
@JohnSL puts you at Boing field. Nice. So much to see, so many story's. Every plane has a history. The whoppers I have been told.
hello, thanks for the video!
