Hi Al,

It's always easiest to replace what's there, and the price difference
isn't that great anyway.  I used the P-110 probes described at:
http://www.aircraftspruce.com/catalog/inpages/eip110egttit.php because
I didn't know about the Micro-1000 probes at the time.  I haven't heard
of any problems with the probes because of the rotary exhaust.  Any of
them should handle the temperature OK if the pulses don't get them.
