I have never seen a fine thread? i'm sure the thread is course. does'nt the exhaust have a "blank" bolt fitted in the would be o2 port.

definitely not a coarse thread,

no aftermarket exhaust no port there yet, have to make one

sorry i think i must have missed some of this topic "make one" why?

sorry i was in rush so only wrote half a story

I need to create a matching stainless boss for the Post cat sensor

as new exhaust doesnt have a port yet.

hence why i need to know the thread of the sensor.

Ok, best advice is get the sensor then type match the thread on a gauge or a selection of nuts, drill exhaust/ weld job done. is'nt it? Question "Why" does any car have a "post" o2 sensor?

i dont know, dont know of another car that does it.

yeah just need to know thread then can sort it in morning to get fitted in afternoon, welding not a problem

I have noticed that "JAP" imports have a "post" cat sensor? any one know why? i still feel it's a case of sensor first, thread second??

going to make a thread that will fit the senosr, the sensor has an attatched thread, all 1 thing, just need to weld on a female so it can screw in

i guess matt will know, but i dont think he is around at moment

Best of luck.. still love to know "why" there is a need for the post cat sensor??

All ODB-II vehicles should have an O2 sensor after the cat. It is used to detect the cat is working properly. If it detects a problem the engine warning light will come on.

The O2 sensor(s) before the cats are used to set air/fuel mixture
