The American Volt sensor off of Ebay did not fit.
The small threaded tip is not the same threads as the Derale.
You would have to get one that comes with its own adapter fittings.
Mine did not.
I do have a temp sensor in the pan. Installed a pan with drain plug and replaced it with.

If the current port is too big, what about plugging the current port and then drilling and tapping a second port for the American Volt sensor?

Found this…may purchase a 175* and 150* since there’s no option from them in between. It’s a 6-32 stud like the Derale.
Gonna look for more options.

Last time my pan gauge was reading 180°, I checked the fan fitting and it was reading in the 130s with an infrared thermometer.
Same, I ordered the 150* a little bit ago.
Derale never responded to my voicemail or email, so I didn’t get a chance to ask them about the duty cycle. (Fuck em)
I’ll get the next size up (175*) later if ever makes sense to do so.
Edit:
I called Senasys and asked Ryan if they offer temp switches between 150* and 175*.
He said they can do a custom temp (at let’s say 160*) and the set up cost is an additional $35 (when purchasing between 1-19 units). That’s very reasonable imo. Just mentioning this in case the 150* switch is too low.
They also said the switch will be fine with water crossings and there is no duty-cycle limitation.
