Overview

These are all "K-type" thermocouples and they come in sizes 10mm, 12mm, 14mm and 18mm. The sizes refer to the thread diameter of the spark plug the probes are used on most automotive engines use 14mm plugs, the Jabiru engine and Rotax 912/914 use 12mm plugs. The big Lycomings and Continentals use 18mm plugs. Some motorbike engines use small 10mm plugs.

Probe is good, except 3 foot leads too short, needs to be longer for my airplane, had to splice the wires.

The best CHT probe Ive used. Others break easily, this one looks to be sturdy and reliable.

MGL CHT PROBE 18MM SPARK PLUG

March 5, 2022

I was pleasantly surprised by the quality of these as they are the lowest cost I could find. Wires nicely insulated and longer than I expected. Long enough to reach inside firewall, but still needed extensions to make it to my gauge.

No problem with this and the other parts received under the same order. However, I was disappointed with the time the time the remaining parts were left on back order. This is probably not Aircraft Spruces fault due to the virus etc etc but had more stock been held it may have been avoided.

Q: How is it fixed the wire at gasket?

It would connect to the spade terminal that is attached to the wire.
