Been looking around for a drain plug holder for my e30's oil temp sensor. Anyone have any ideas on who sells one? OR a better place to put that sensor?

with the oil temp you want to have the sensor in the center (up and down) part of the pan. it gives alittle room for when the oil pump is suckin in alot of oil during heavy acceleration. but it worst come to worst, i seen this done, but drill and tap the pan, or drain plug. ive seen both, and the only thing you have to really worry about it the tapping the pan, because its aluminum and it strips very easily.
