I have just received my EGT from skydive, but it has no fitting instructions, where is the best position to weld the nut onto the pipe (JL3), is there a recommended position/measurement?

Cheers Guys

100mm from the piston skirt ?

yes 100mm from piston skirt

I got someone to tig weld a boss onto mine so i could screw it in. if anyone else is looking for onem on ebay there is a company who are very good, they sell these and cyl head temp, rev counters etc all cheap prices. Though admititdly the ones form skydrive seem better qual though they should be at that price.


The company on ebay gave me complete replacements even out of warranty after the guy who welded mine welded the damn sender on and ruined the sender, though it did leave a good recieving boss for the new sender gauge - the whole thing. Very good company [email protected] is their email.

That's the same make as I have. What's your set-up and what's your temp spread?

RB20 35tmx jl3. usually stays between 400 and 550 but im set up rich.
Going to try and take it apart soon to change the glass for a clear one, but the bezel that holds it all together is crimped on so i dont know if it can be done. its great at night, but if its sunny i cant see a thing even when its overcast its difficult to see, you have to squint at it for a while. Which is a bit dangerous, as when you do need to look at it is when you are blasting it or slowing down, and thats usually when i need to consentrate on the road more
But the trouble with the airworld ones is that they aren`t back lit so you cant see them at night. But i may have to get one and try to fit a backlight in it .
How do you find yours?

It would be interesting to read everyones set-up and spread(idle-cruise-fanging it).
I do agree with reading the gauge during the day,my main concern is riding in or overhead light. I'm glad I mounted my on the headset,less of a focus shift between road and gauge.

I think if you gently work the bezel it will lift,maybe a small flat blade screw driver and a beer.

Done it! eaisier than i thought. but the glass is in fact a lens so magnifies slightly. Change it for a piece of lexan of an old helmet visor looks ok i will post pics later
