about 1.5" ID. So 38mm would be the closest.

You could always take a piece of stainless or aluminum piping and just tap it for a sender as well. Actually, tapping it wouldnt work unless you beefed it up a bit with more, or had a bung welded on it like I did on my thermostat housing, you could even just have a nut welded on it.

Tap the water pump. It's the only way to go.

That hose thing is actually nice for the money, easier then taking the pump off and putting it back on, especially those with more then just a alternator!
