I am finding, having pulled the brakes apart, that this G60 being a Feb 78 build, has both metric and imperial fittings, especially amongst the brake and clutch fittings. These could have been changed over the years, but as this G60 sat for 17 years I am also thinking that it could have come down the production line utilising whatever was in the parts bin at the time, as Nissan changed over from imperial to metric. All the brake & clutch parts I have pulled off the G60 are genuine Nissan fitted items. All the parts counter employees I have spoken to lately assume that a Japanese vehicle will be metric, most of them are not old enough to have sourced parts for 20 year old vehicles, let alone something that is 42 years old. Luckily the brake & clutch guy is loving the challenge, but he is an older distinguished gent, like myself!!!!!

Re: Water temp sender
Thank you for the information on the size, I will grab these from my local hardware. I really don't know where I would be without this forum.
