Where Can I Get A Bung?

[blageo23]

I need a weldable bung for my IAT sensor. 3/8npt. Anyone know where I can get one?

I think I got mine at an Ace hardware store.

Yea. Just take your o2 sensor, and bring over to the hardware store and match up the threads on a bolt. Then just weld that on. =D

[JET]

There are a few problems with that. It is for an IAT sensor, not an O2 sensor and a bolt isn't going to work well for a bung. I am guessing you meant a nut, but that won't work for an NPT thread.

[blageo23]

What did you buy jet? do they sell bungs or did u get something else that worked. Also if you remember what part of the store was it in(plumbing?)?

[JET]

Yeah, plumbing and I got a piece that had a female 3/8" NPT end on it, then cut it off and used that.

[blageo23]

Do they have aluminum? Because Its being welded to the TB elbo so Im assuming you cant weld steel to aluminum(correct?).

[JET]

I doubt they will have aluminum. I put mine in the UICP right before the elbow, then it is stainless and can be welded.

I think I have an aluminum bung somewhere. If you want a steel one, you can get a steel bung from the hardware store and cut it in half. It'll probably be galvanized steel though. I believe the thread is 3/8 NPT.
