Scott:
    I used the VM probes, which have an aluminum base, threaded
internally, knurled on the outer surface. I made a 3/8-inch thick
phenolic block, machined the hole for the probe base at the calculated
angle, also another hole for the finger strainer, then bonded the block
into a prepared recess in the inside of the BL50 rib. Put 3 BID over the
block on the inside of the rib, plus another 3 BID on the outside for
additional strength. Bonded the aluminum base into the hole with hysol,
with the probe in place during cure to insure correct orientation, then
put additional BID around the base where it protruded from the inside of
the rib. Have photos of the installation if you are interested.
