I posted this in Bobby_M's thread about probe thermometers for keggles (https://www.homebrewtalk.com/showthread.php?t=22133). I took some pics and thought I would share them.
I bought the two weldless thermosights from northernbrewer.com. I really like the setup as you can use any probe thermo throught the sight glass fitting, but I didn't like the way they sealed the thermometer in the compression fitting with washers. So I got some 1/4" OD silicon tubing and some 1/4" compression sleeves for the compression fitting and it works like a charm.
Here's the stuff you need. I only used about 1" of the tubing.
Here's the expanded view of how things are going together. I use a little bit of keg lube to insert the probe into the tubing. After you tighten the fitting it really crushes the sleeve around the tubing.
Here's what it looks like put together.
