i could probley fab 100 tc's in an hour...

I used to make TCs for the Space sim lab at Lockheed Martin.

To do it right you need to twist the ends and spot weld them with a tiny bench-top welder.
Then we would put the tip in an oven and heat them to ~200C and then dip them in Liquid Nitrogen (-180C), then right back in the oven. If they survived that, they were good to go.

That type would be acceptable for clamping directly under a spark plug once or twice.
I wouldnt trust that much more than that unless you had a "washer" type protective sheath.

If you wanted to make them for EGTs, then they would need a threaded "probe".
