[TR] TR3a temp sensor

[Tom Walling]

Don't cut the housing unless you have a "lock" on a replacement. It would be much harder to replace than the sensor. There may even be a way to replace the original ether-filled system with an electric one. The old system always seemed too prone to failure to me anyways!
