You don't need a lathe, just a drill, a flat file and a vice. What I did was chucked up the probe end of the sensor in the drill, clamp the flat file straight up in the vice, and go at it. It's brass so it'll cut easy, but it does take a while. Once you get it down to size, thread the dye down on it, it'll go easy because it's brass, just use some MM oil or whatever, I used jack oil cuz it was handy.

12mm dye is cheap on ebay, I also bought some 12mm copper washers on ebay to seal it like OEM.

That particular temp sensor won't work with a stock 67-72 temp gauge because the ohms range is much different.
