Ok so one here for the electronic whizz kids out there, so I have a oil pressure gauge, the sender does have an output for a warning light but its a real ball ache to get a cable back to the dash so I was thinking is there a way to trigger a light from the gauge feed, its a resistance based...

Nick i found my loom not to be of all that great a quality I think the chap doing Micks stuff was about to stop and was uning up any old wire, some colours did not match the spec sheet, it went in ok and I got it all working but does need a bit of jiggery pokery, I started with the dash section...

Not quite the same as a rolled section but I know Mick at SGT has some of these raised rib profiles you fix on? Going to get some for mine

Mick at SGT has them but needs to make a batch, I have asked for a set seems a good idea so if anyone else wants a set maybe fire him an email?

My first car was a red Toyota MR2 (Not this one mine was a C plate) I worked long ago in the IT division for Toyota and they had a great company car scheme, we collected them the first day they launched in the UK, 3 of us collected all red with ascending number plates and drove down in the...

Got any photos Paul of yours? did not know they did a quick release front clip as well.

I am loving this build, the gear knob to me is so personal, tree has gone but will live forever in a GT40 oh happy days....

I didn't wait till my kids left home, mind you they never bloody seem to these days, got for it Nick, I am halfway (maybe being optimistic) through my Southern GT build and would not have done it any other way for the world, great team on here when you get stuck or a bit despondent (my box is...

Beautiful

I know one needs a boost at times !!! Love this build though

Cheers all, I have pressure now!!! Seemed it needed a bit more priming than i was risking, now onto the rets of the bits, why does a to do list just get longer !!

Shaft seal I think? Chris Cole who rebuilt the box thinks it needs another O ring? Which part do you mean by the adaptor pins? The roll pins that hold the shafts on?

As the George Michael record said "You Gotta Have Faith" Not cranking for long enough, so tested the sender with an air line worked a treat with the gauge, put a bag (ok basic stuff here!) over the sender feed hose and cranked, oil slow then flew out, made a mess, cleared that up, put the sender...

Hi Andy / Morten I did think I should get a reading, manual gauge the way to go as I don't want to crank any more at risk of damaging the new rebuild. Oil cooler removal a good idea strip it back to basics, the rebuild firm I know spun it up and marked the PSI on the block in white paint. I...

Good point Bob, I am running a remote cooler with a adaptor so I think (please correct if wrong) that should not affect the flow to and from the filer? Its a thermostatic adaptor so the pipes in the cooler were still dry but I sort of expected that. Going to see if I have a manual gauge to use...

Cheers Ian, did some more checking, they got back with the ohm reading for zero and full pressure so I can check that, I think its ok just maybe not enough to fully register on the gauge on a starter motor crank but will dig some more, cheers

Hi Hope this is the right forum, so just wiring my dash and checking gauges, I am using ETB gauges and senders, just testing the all important oil pressure, I am cranking the engine plug less and no ignition, no reading on the gauge. So far I have 1) Checked the gauge rises with an open circuit...

Cheers Don, just out of interest do you have the full fuse box mappings? I was going to do a trial and error pull out and see what does not work but if you have a list!!! Thanks

Morning all Anyone know where the feed for the red/white instrument cluster back lights is sourced from? Just fitted my dash and only a few quirks one of which is no illumination, I can see 2 red whites back to the fuse board but they are not them, rest is buried in the loom, will check with...

Great work must be a very happy man, enjoy the drive and forget the heat!!
