Looks like Bongo Fury member Haydn Callow has a new website. Does he still give Bongo Fury members a little discount. If this is him then you can always phone or PM him to ask him what it is that you are intrested in.

Hi there,

I have one that I bought from Haydn. Works a treat and fits neatly into a switch blank so easy to install neatly.

I'd recommend it from my experience to date.

Yes it was quite easy.

Physically fitting it was very easy, pop out a switch blank and pop in the unit.

You have to wire up to switched positive and earth, plus a longer wire that goes out to the engine bay and bolts under the chosen bolt, this is a probe. Then it's a case of tidying up the wiring and all is done.

I think there is info on where to put the sensor probe on the forums.

PM me if you need any more info but it's not hard to install which is good.

You can fit the sensor under any bolt you like...However we recommend the back of the cylinder head where there is a threaded hole just waiting....correct bolt supplied if asked for. Full photo instructions of the location.
