Racor 500MA and the use of the newer style water probe ?

Does anyone know if the newer style Racor water probe(RK30880e)will fit the Racor 500MA that has the metal shield. The probe base looks much larger than the older style? It appears it will interfere with the metal bowl when reassembling.

I spent 2 hours on hold on numerous calls to Parker and only spoke to one person who immediately transferred me to a voice mail…… so never got an answer

Newer style probe that I am asking about >>>

I have the same need... but these things won't fit, just by looking at the pic below, without having proper drawings/dimensions.

it gets even worse, the even newer style has the extra length of the connector:

A note in there says:
Quote:
Note: Racor will still offer
WIF kit part numbers RK 21069 and RK 55484 for use with all turbine assemblies.
RK 21069 is what fits.


on edit: below pic is what does not fit..

Thanks for the reply. That is what I thought.
