What value resistor would I need to use to replace the 5k pot so it will trigger at 11V? I am trying to make it a little lighter and smaller. Thanks

4mv/100c 140 degrees C is when I want it to trigger so about 6 mv i need it to trigger a relay

I'm looking to make a shutdown switch for a truck. Using a very low voltage coming from the exhaust thermocouple. What modifications to this circuit should I make. I think the voltage is less than .5volts and a very small range to the desired shutdown
