In your situation, Jeff, I'd be highly tempted to buy new. They're £40-50 or so.

I bought mine from a VDO distributor called Low Tension. They used to have a website, but I seem to recall it was gone last time I looked.

The thread for a B200 is M12x1.5, if I remember correctly. I have it written down somewhere, so I can confirm that. Somewhere...somewhere, I will have the full VDO part numbers for the various senders, including the sump plug one for a temp gauge. I could look it up from the VDO catelogue if I wasn't being lazy! The older B19/21/23 blocks have that hole threaded as 1/8" NPT (again, IIRC). The Volvo kits were all 1/8" NPT senders with a brass adaptor...which is what I bought for my 360 a) because it was marginally cheaper that way, and b) just to be anally retentive!

cheers

James
