	Just got a new radiator for my 800. There is a sensor hole about the size of a 2p coin in one of the plastic side tanks. I need to blank or seal it off. There are no threads or anything, just a 2p size hole through the thin wall plastic. I looked online for the correct sensor, so i could just fit that but none are listed or shown in the exploded parts diagrams. Any ideas? Just glue something across? don't want it to blow off.

	I wonder if you could use a bit of plastic off say an air box and melt it on? Then tidy up with some sort epoxy? You could try just a small section first to see.

	Sounds like it is intended for the otter type switch which pushes in a rubber grommet, used on my elan plus 2 and probably loads of other cars. I guess the easiest way is to buy a switch and grommet.
