T/C Mounting on EM

[ptimmerm@mashtun.JPL.NASA.GOV]

Hi Guys,

I finnaly got my six channel digital temperature monitoring
system installed in the Ur-Q.  Even got five of six working.
It uses K type T/C's and I adapted an IOmega 115 Vac by
hacking into the power stage and used a negative rail
generator, so it runs off 12 vdc.  It has a good quality 
switch so I get +/1 1 degree accuracey for all six channels.
It is expandable to 24 channels.  You should see the heat
come out of the turbo on an onramp, over 150C before the IC!
Typically you run 10-20C drop through the IC, but at peak
you can get a 50-60C drop.  This tends to fade as the IC
starts to warm up.  I think I saw 80-90C out of the IC at one
point.

Theres the info, here comes the question.
How to mount the T/C to the EM.  I built two ceramic bead 
and woven glass insulated TC leads.  Can I use HT red RTV
to stick them on?  And where to put them before and after
the turbo?  How about SS hose clamps for mounting, or would there
be too much strain generated on the EM?  Thanks in advance.
