For some reason my ladder was not installed with bolts, had big stainless screws, bought a hf rivet nut tool, drilled the holes bigger and popped them in tool worked perfect and best part all the inserts are sae not metric

I also got rid of the heavy factory cargo rubber mat and installed these interlocking rubber squares we used in fire trucks

It is 1/2" flare available at Lowes as pictured

Here is the pic top is plug bottom is adapter 1/2" male flare to 3/8" pipe thread to fit the switch I bought, I actually ground off the nipple on the pipe adapter it is not needed here and gets the temp probe closer to the coolant
