How old is the battery, I had a similar problem, my battery was showing 13.2 volts,would turn the engine once the died, battery still showing 12.4, changed it and every thing was fine. It’s not only voltage it’s the amps as well.

When I bought mine, must be more than 20 years ago, he did 2 types, the GTD and original, they are sand bent and have lasted well, as the GTD engine sits higher than SGT I would think not.

Like a silly sod I took the red inserts out of mine about 20 years ago because the illumination wasn’t bright enough.

Mine is 3.25” it a KVA body on GTD chassis

I used those on my GTD, they had to be converted to work with the smiths gauges otherwise they showed full when empty, they are sold by Wema here in the U.K., they did the change for me.

He did my Stewart Warner pumps a few years back, the numbers I’ve got 0161 8818786 and mobile 01638 601679, bear in mind this was a while ago.

Mine is also completely watertight, I’ve also been out in torrential rain, not very often I might add.

1939 Austin 8, all of 24HP, not this one but just like it.

The mounting hole on each tank is directly above the bottom of the angle in the tank, different lengths of senders are available and mounting has to be adapted also Wema have to reverse the sender electronics to match the Smiths gauges or they read full when empty and empty when full.

After numerous problems with Smiths senders which use plastic float bearing which seems to be affected by modern petrol because when taken off the tank after a couple of weeks they work fine, I now use Wema fuel level senders converted to work with Smiths gauges, so far fine.

What a load of Hollywood rubbish, glad I didn’t have to pay to watch it.
