Hi, newbie to the forum here, so...er.....hello! :)

I've just bought a '95 rangie after a brief dalliance with a Grand Cherokee and a longer relationship with a Hilux Surf.

Here's my problem. The guy who I got the car from was a thoroughly nice bloke but probably a bit of a muppet too.

The first issue I have is that the air filter housing appears to have come from a Landie or even a Disco; a big black steel affair about 9" in diameter and about 18" long. It was just sat in the engine bay. I've sourced what I believe to be the right filter housing and mounted it.
The original monstrosity had the airflow meter housing mounted between it and the inlet, complete with a flying lead that connected to the airflow housing. There was also a second lead that went to what looks like another airflow sensor. This was positioned in a hole drilled in the air intake of the original steel affair.
Having installed the new housing, the airflow housing gets its' flying lead connected again but I can't see a location for the second sensor to go.

Any ideas? I've attached a couple of pics below. Thanks

The sensor shown is the inlet air temp sensor. Fitted to Gems i believe. If you have a Thor air cleaner it won't have an hole for it. Don't think it's fitted to Thor. Petrol heads may be along to confirm or refute that.
 
Thanks for that Wammers. In your opinion, as its there, should I drill a hole in the air filter housing below the filter and install it there?
