I'm trying to get the oil gauge working on what I thought was a '38 dash panel. Its 2" (0-10) rather than the little 1.5" ones used in Nippies and the like.
The first question - is this actually an Austin 7 David Harcourt gauge, or something borrowed from something else?
The oil pressure pipe has the same end fittings but was far smaller bore than 3/16, and I'd assumed was blocked.
I've replaced the pipe with 3/16 and everything now WORKS linked up to a smaller gauge, but I can't get anything out of the 2" diameter one, which looks like the rear male brass fitting may have been drilled out internally for some reason.
Any thoughts?
