Oil gauges

[GazTurboUK]

Looking to fit oil pressure and oil temp gauges to my pre-facelift classic, was wondering what people have used/prefer with regards using a sandwich plate or adaptor at oil pressure switch?

Also will have three gauges fitted whats the best position/pod for these?

For pod, i never found a 3 gauge pod i liked for the dash, so suggest a pillar pod.

I've always fitted the pressure sensor at the existing one, as it's simple, easy and CLEAN. Fitting a sandwich plate means changing the oil, but it can get a bit messy. For the temp sensor, i removed the plug to the right(IIRC)ontop of the block, then drilled and tapped a thread to suit.

How you getting on Johnny?

Motor going well?

[johnnyr6]

Not bad dave, you?

The motor isnt going too well these days as its needing a couple of bits. Mainly needs an engine + box + an interior...lol

Aye no bad....same sh1t, different day.

Longing for another scoob, even though i'd never afford bein able to run it.

"Updates" coming then i take it? Making it faster than Colins paperweight?

I will do a project thread when its nearer the finished stage ( i reckon it'll take me about 2 years or so to build). It wont be faster than colins as i will probably need to use mine as a road car more than him and i dont want to rotate the turbo.

I can't start it until i get a couple of bikes sorted and out my garage, so hopefully get back into it in the spring.

Nice one. Always reckoned 450 in a classic, was around the perfect amount of hp for the road.

Apologies to the OP for the hijack.
