the sender works by resistance and intense heat could make the difference.
Perhaps some insulating header wrap or sleeving could ensure reliability, if
there is room that is !!>>
Hi Don
The removal of the actual contact between the VDO and the exhast has
obviously worked but there must still be a fair amount of heat radiated
through the air and this probably affects the temp. sensor also.
Anyone have any suggestions for a meterial which
a) will not pass or will totally reflect heat
b) a thin material, not more than an 1/8th inch. Thinner is better.
c)something easily worked and fixed by a mechanic with five thumbs and no
training.
Cheers
Pat

Hi Pat, There is one company called Thermotec that makes many products associated
with insulating and controlling heat for automotive racing. They have a header
wrap that is 1/16" thick by 1 to 2 inches wide offered in black or tan color
that withstands a continuous 2000 degrees. Black would look good for your aircraft.
There may be other products out there now but this product comes to
mind as I used it many hotroding years ago. If you download their catalog from
their website and go to page 4 you will see what I am suggesting. In addition
and if needed, you could install some of the heat shielding material over the
sender. I like their fire sleeving for wires. You only need two thumbs. Don.

If there's a Harley store nearby they have a variety of clamp on exhaust
shields that would probably do the job. Any shop for road going bikes should
have them I just know Harley here in the States has them for sure. You could
easily fab something, too.

Good thought Richard. thanks. Haven`t ridden a bike for 60 years so that
didn`t occur to me. I thought shields were to keep your legs far enough
from the exhaust that you wouldn`t get burned, not to stop the
transmission of heat. I must investigate
Cheers
