One of my two $26 Westach probes broke after maybe 30 hours and the
other seems to be on the way out.

Does anybody have experience with the Alcor probes sold by AirCraft
Spruce for $59? Will they last more than twice as long as the Westachs?

Note: due to my muffler/exhaust design, the probes are located only 2.5"
from the engine.

I have weld-on boss probes for Microflight guages from Aircraft Spruce

the clamp-on type, they may not last due to movement/vibration. I have seen
EGT as high as 1600F.

Hey Chuck how is it going? If you don't make Copper State I will drive
out and take some pictures if you don't mind. I am going to stop off and
see Ron Davis too. Maybe Paul Yaw if he is there.
