Received order on time. I tried to order a KType thermocouple that was around .125dia. I assumed what I was getting was around that diameter and then realized that it was .200 and will not fit .188 diameter hole in exhaust header. I left a phone mail message 2 days ago and have not had a return call

This probe has a length of 5/8.
These work well but while the probe itself may be stainless, the strain relief spring covering the wire is not -- all of them are covered in surface rust after two months exposure to Hawaii climate. Disappointing.
Same part # but significantly different from the probe purchased years ago. The tension spring is not as stiff and the wire lead is about 4” shorter, the hole in the exhaust had to be enlarged, why? This is a wear part and made replacement very annoying. Shrinkflation I guess. Reads correctly, time will tell if it outlasts the previous version.

I do not know yet as I have not installed yet.

Per MGL, the small clamp may not fit. They recommend part number 11-05567 as long as you have a threaded receptacle on the exhaust.
The MGL EGT clamp is 1.5" when it is tightened. We tested one and were able to tighten it to 1.375" but we can not guarantee that it will fit.
The MGL type K EGT thermocouple (11-07842) has a 4' lead.
This probe is 36 inches in length.
