Hello folks,  I'm planning on stating a full on engine strip & rebuild of my very dirty laid up Austin Mk2 Cooper S...

One question, is the temperature sender and the spiral wrapped cable/loom still available?  All I see available are the more later spade terminal type.  Below is a picture of what I'm talking about.

Many thanks

That is a capillary type rather than an electric one

Yes, sorry I should have maybe been more specific & mentioned that.  All I see on minispares, and the like are the electrical 'wired' style.  Been looking on the various MG, & Austin Healey sites for capillary or the Bourdon tupe principle style - nothing is coming to light.  I may just clean up & repair what I have...

Thanks

What do you mean by repair? Break that tube and it'a a specialist job. And getting rare/harder to get.

Search for a capillary tube .Be carefull not to break it( breaks easly after all those years) You can replace them, but it is a HARD job to do. You will need to work in cold conditions, and freeze the tubes before starting.
