    When I got my Nissens rad it had a copper o-ring with it.



    I think this is for the temp sensor which plugs into the rad on earlier models. Anyone confirm?

    Cheers, knew it wasn't an o-ring but I couldn't think of what it was called. Closest I could think of was a olive when you fit taps.
