Re: Oil Pressure Gauge Kit

[Henry Frye <thefryes@domain.elided>]

Larry,

The Oipn Prewssure Gauge Kit is on sale at Paddocks for 60 pounds. It is
the gauge, line, tee adapter and all hardware.

I have received no replies from anyone who has installed this particular kit.

Glenn Minucci <gminucci@domain.elided> and I exchanged a few emails
yesterday, he installed a guage from a TR250 or an early TR6 in the hole
vacated by the clock. Glenn claimed an easy install, and the guage is a
pretty close match to the originals. Having no shortage of TR250 gauges in
the shop (see the sig file below!) I'm seriously considering going that
route. Hopefully the bezel from my non-functioning clock will go on the
'250 gauge and look OK.

Having an Oil Pressure guage mounted below the dash would be my last
resort. Out of sight, out of mind!

Thanks for the reply.
