Just received my Summer edition of Revival, and its as good a read as ever.

Most interesting article from Adrian re HA Temperature switch sender replacement.

Having just gone through exactly the same problem, and finding a new one difficult in the extreme, even with the help of Members on the forum, I must have jogged Adrian's memory to notify Club of the modification listed.

I actually had some difficulty in removing it from the head, but it shifted eventually!!!

A long search finally unearthed a second hand unit, which actually works ok so, after a 10/15 mile drive through town, country and a short section of motorway, all appears well, at the moment, and the needle moved up and stayed in the centre position!!

I am still going to contact Adrian for a replacement, just to be safe.

If you can source the recommended sender unit I have a small quantity of adaptors - dont have a hex on the top foe a spanner but if you put the sender in the adaptor and screw the both in using the hex on the sender it should work ok. It could be a one way installation as if you try to take it out the sender will unscrew and leave the adaptor in.

Thank you Bob for your feedback on the latest edition, it's good to hear that our members enjoy its content and find useful info inside.

I'm always looking for articles and photos to include and over the past year it has been particularly difficult. The Autumn issue is due out in the first few weeks of September with submissions due by 1st August.

I would ask all our members to send anything they think will be of interest, and this time of year simple rally and show reports and lots of photos are most welcome.
