Decided I needed something else to worry about and had my eye on the Aircooled Acessories Oil pressure gauge to make a matching set with the Oil Temp and Tacho.
That’s the trouble when you run a multicore from front to back and only use a couple of cores
, the spare ones are nagging to be used.
The gauges aren’t cheap, but I think they do match the original grey dials very well, plus the Oil Pressure gauge and sender came in at £95 delivered when using code WELCOME10 on their website, which I thought was good value.
I went for the single sender unit supplied with the gauge (0-70 PSI) as I wanted to keep a separate pressure switch so bought the T piece from Demon Tweeks with the correct thread for the case. Also shored things up with a couple few dowty washers after reading the some horror stories of folk cracking cases through over tightening.
Fired up all good, lamp on temp gauge wasn’t working (I’d changed it to led) so had to whip out the gauge to sort it, in doing so scratched the frickin pod
it’s only painted so I’ll redo it at some point.
I fitted an 18ohm inline resistor on the temp gauge as it’s been reading over by 18deg so it’ll be interesting to see how it now compares to the Bluetooth 123 temp sensor.
All good on start up, sort of pressure to be expected on a cold’ish start
Look at all those spare cores coiled up, just itching to be used
Not a lot of room because of the tinware, so mounted it this way.
