Shiny new gauges...

 

I decided to fit an oil pressure gauge - the TIM one seemed to be the best value and ebay the best place to buy (considering shipping costs, etc.).

 

It arrived quite quickly but didn't look right on its own... so I decided that it needed a mate... Back to ebay and ordered a TIM voltmeter... I also stumbled across a long plastic capillary tube for the oil pressure gauge (it comes with a short copper pipe) which looked to be a lot easier to fit...

 

So, a couple of days of spannering and wiring and we have new additions...

Thanks...

 

I have only a few more pictures of her... I didn't pay it much attention to be honest - it had a 1380 under the bonnet and the owner kept starting it up and revving the tits off it to demonstrate the noise... I thought it a shame that it had not been kept more original...
