Overall good fitting product for £27 plus £4 postage from eBay. Fitted well in the case and sender. Well made product. To be hyper critical the dipstick touches the plate due to its thickness so could do with being slightly thinner to make sure it doesn't foul the dipstick. Overall fits well and serves its purpose I would of gone for the M14 version as that has a lip around the sender which I believe would produce more accurate temp results due to deflected air flow. But that again is also bring hyper critical. If you want a temp sender unit for your type 4 In a better location than then oil pressure relief value this is the item to buy.

It is a bit of a half way copy of the Porsche taco plate ... to get accurate results like the Porsche one the temp sender has a cover to stop air flow over it and is at a more sunken angle ....
Looks like they have a slightly upgraded version too... https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/VW-type-...313913?hash=item5d6f2f1079:g:KV0AAOSwmgJY1qIQ Although, I have just bought a secondhand taco plate to try and make my own.
It's the same place as the dipstick. Which I have now, just that this is neater. 1979 Super Viking, 2lt type 4, Automatic
it is slightly different , if you look in the case where it goes you will see what I mean . The above one also has a cover ....but I`m splitting hairs .
Oh, I see what you mean. Those porsche ones are great aren't they. Does anyone sell them? 1979 Super Viking, 2lt type 4, Automatic
if you look on ratwell site it gives you all the part numbers etc so I imagine Porsche classic still do them ?
