Subject:Radiator temp sensor question

Hi foks,

        Is there a procedure or torque specification for installing the new sensor onto the new radiator?

I have the sensor and it came with a gasket. 

New radiator arrives tomorrow, fingers crossed this one is solid and without impact marks from shipping.
All is out and area ready for the new radiator to go back in. 

Any suggestions for anything that should be done in there before it goes back in? 

Considering the years of dirt on the back of the van I was amazed how clean the front was. 

There is insolation on one side of the fan area but not on the other.  Is that missing or how it was done? 

I will add just a bit of sound deadening in places I can now reach. 
So sensor install tips?
