I believe I purchased it from Grand Rapids. It's an aluminum coupler with a
threaded insert welded on for the temp probe. I checked their website but
did not see it there. The best thing to do is to call them. The number on t
heir website is 616-245-7700. I think it was about $35.

George,
Where did you get your "T"? Is it custom or is it from a particular vendor
?
Start the year off right. Easy ways to stay in shape in the new year.

Hi Jim,
I could not find the T adapter on the GRT website, so I called
Lockwood. They have one for $44 with the transducer so I ordered
it. I'll report back when it arrives.

Check you local radiator shop and see if they
will make the adapter. That is what I did for my
truck. It never crossed my mind to try to find a
pre-made part. a good shop will have the beader
and Al, brass, and steel tubing. You will need to
provide the fitting if it is not 1/8" pipe.

Rotaxers,
I too have ordered a coolant temperature adaptor from Grand Rapids.
I'll let you know when it arrives and post pics on my build web site.

I have been running Evans coolant for over 100 hours on my 701 here in the Arizona
desert heat, with summer temperatures of well over 100 degrees. I have had
no problems with any overheating. I agree 100 % with Roger Lee (no relative of
mine) about the Evans coolant. We do live within 20 miles of each other though.
I personally would not use anything else in my 912uls but Evans. I would not
take a chance of having the hot spots (steam pockets) that Rotax is concerned
about with regular coolant. The engine is just too expensive to mess with.
If they think it is the thing to use, then I am going to use it! If you Google
the Evans site and read their literature, you will know precisely what Rotax
is concerned about. The hot spots in the cylinder heads can become steam pockets
and steam does not cool very well at all. They can and will occur in the hot
spots of your engine under heavy load and then dissipate into the surrounding
coolant without you even knowing they have happened! If this happens you can
very easily destroy the temper of metal in the heads, which needless to say is
not good.
Should you ever have to add water in case of leak on a cross country, you can
add water with no problem. Of course you will destroy the high boiling point of
the Evans coolant and will end up with the boiling point of a 50-50 coolant
mixture. I personally carry an extra pint of Evans with me. In two years and 150
hours I have never had to add one drop.
