Most aircraft EIS systems are looking for thermocouple probes, not NTC (an electronic interface). Verify that your Garmin will work with NTC first, which I doubt. It doesn't take much of a torch to weld your own thermocouples. MAP gas will probably do it, maybe even propane and oxygen. I just used the TIG because it's three feet from my computer and ready to go. > I want to drill a smale hole in the fitting at the oil cooler,glue it in so I > can monitor oil temp in and oil temp out. I would not "glue" an oil fitting. Welding on a bung and tapping it for a threaded probe is the accepted method. Depending on the glue (even strong epoxy), the high temp of the oil will likely soften it and allow the probe to blow out.
