Could be a problem if your current ones are larger. Bob W. Bob; Thanks for lead. It's interesting that they are guaranteed; but I' concerned that the SS housing may not last long 2" from the port in a rotary. The ones I've been using are inconel 600 which I think is a better bet. Also since my wiring assumes the 4' leads, I better stick with the same kind I've got. Happy New Year!!
