My original radiator cracked at the upper hose connection so I replaced it with an all metal heavy duty type. I reused the original temp sensor seal (silly of me! ) only to have it fail a year after. I acquired an original from our local dealer here in S.Fla ( $10 !!! ) and reinstalled. NOW when I got the new radiator I noticed a platic plug where the sensor fits . This plug was held in by a brass screw cap which had a quarter inch or so hole in it. I was able to make that hole bigger ( to accomodate the leads from the sensor ), then screw it back in place so as to hold the sensor and grommet securely. At least now the entire assembly will not simply flyout when the grommet goes bad.
