Lamba sensor thread size?

[Littledumptruck]

Like the heading says, does anybody know what the thread size is for a lamba sensor?

I have a link pipe to fit a Road legal Scorpion can to my 850, but it has the hole for a lamba sensor. I'm pretty sure my 850 doesn't have a sensor, can't see one anyway, which means I need to block it up somehow.

I suppose a simple option would be to get an old dead sensor to plug it with.

Anybody got a dead one they could donate?

Cheers
Hugh

Just changed the one on my car. I think the thread is the same on all sensors so you can go to a car service and ask them to give you one that they have changed on a car recently

This is a much neater way of doing it - http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/M12-Lambd...arts_Vehicles_CarParts_SM&hash=item4aaba490bf

I've got a pair of them which I got from him to plug the lambda sensor holes in my Remus headers.

So it's a M12 thread

Get a screw of that size and cut it off

Or maybe an old spark plug

Got some thread gauges you can use

Should have metric ones

Had another look at this this afternoon, and it's way bigger than a spark plug, it measures about 17mm internal diameter. Looks like I'll be taking it into a nut and bolt supplier in Luton next week.
Want to get it fitted now, a mate has just donated me a nice Scorpion Carbon can to fit on the end fo the link pipe. Another mate has arranged for a visit to his company's weigh bridge next week, so exhaust and alloy wheels to follow and see how much weight its lost.

No need - it's M12. See the ebay link I posted above...? Just to confirm I measured one with my vernier calipers - 17.75 mm across the threads and 16.8 mm across the grooves.

if you measured that, its not an m12

That sounds about right. Mine was measured internally with verniers.

£5 sounds a lot for one bolt. But the place in Luton would charge a min £2 and it's 12 mile from here!

Contacted the guy listing the M12 plug on ebay. He has confirmed it isn't that one, but he does list an M18 x 1.5 plug which is the right one for my hole measuring 17mm internally.

This ones only £4 delivered. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/M18-x-1-5...CarParts_SM&hash=item2315ac268e#ht_2946wt_932

By the way its a standard 18 x1.5, thats metric fine available at any bolt shop.

Nice one, thanks. Daft thing is I did a search but didn't turn that one up.

A mate of mine popped in the place in Luton earlier today, but even with me talking to the guy on the phone we didn't manage to get one, so for £4 i've ordered one of these now.

Best way to go, you get one the right length and has a recessed hex drive. better than cutting and filing to length.
