You know how people say to go with your first impression? I may be all wet but something tells me the temp sender on these older kubotas is a capillary tube to the gauge. If this is right, the "wire" isn't a wire but a jacketed flexible tube - looks like miniature romex. It's a complete one-piece assembly with the gauge. Probably expensive now - and maybe has been superceded by an electronic one?
As always, prompt cheerful refund if info is bogus. Let me know if you'll be claiming the refund. /forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif Take care, Dick B
