I think the problem comes with trying to link the older Smiths type gauges with the later MPi Nippon Seiki ones. Although I'm also curious as I've never seen an MPi with a Smiths Cooper S centre binnacle

The oil pressure gauge is fine as its just a pipe, the water temp is fine too, its electric and the signal is the same as the current one between the speedo and tach. The rest is just rewiring :) But MPIs had a solid bulkhead so it would need to be cut, not surgery Im willing lol.

I must admit I was not happy with it from day 1, there was loads of rust, it was unloved and in poor overall condition. After all this work, I am content with the state it is now in =)

Yeah I think you just caught the short end of the stick dude. I bought a second hand jobby for mine, (courtesy of Noah's link) works perfectly. But an alloy one will look kool, look forward to pics from it

Word of warning, the numbers on the loops are from back to front (I put all my bars in before realising this).
Was easy enough to install though, if I can do it on my own anyone can ;-)

Yeah might aswell mate for that price! Was thinking of getting an alloy one from china but its £90 I could do better off spending on something else

Whats your coolant like, clean or muddy and rusty? With my old rad, every time I drained and refilled the system it went rusty and brown after like 50 miles, so flushed the heater core and new rad and its still lovely and blue after 1000 miles :)

Errm like clear atm mate, had a new waterpump and expansion tank installed which I think helped a lot as before it was rusty brown colour and the temp would get near hot when in traffic. But I would ideally like an alloy 4 core one from china as theyre only 100 quid and will cool the engine more efficiently
