I purchased Smith combo water temp-oil pressure guage. I found an adaptar from the MGmidget that fits into the water pump and seats the temp probe for the guage on Paul Teglers website. The problem I'm having is finding the exact part. The number he gives I am unable to find. The Smiths guage has a temp sensor and brass coupler that threads into the water pump but nothing that stops the probe from sliding further in. The probe has a flange that is supposed to seat against something in the pump but my water pump has nothing to prevent the probe from sliding farther into the pump. Has anybody installedl one of these or have anysuggestions? It's going into a 1979 Spitfire 1500

Thanks for the heads up on  Smiley :)the mini cooper site. I actualy found the part I was looking for by looking at an M.G. engine. I had been looking for the part on the water pump but found out it actualy threads into the head
