John Bonnett Posted April 10, 2015 Share Posted April 10, 2015 Having invested more than I care to admit on my engine I'm rather keen to have early warning of a catastrophic drop in oil pressure. Obviously I'll have the warning light but I've just come across this audible warning device.http://www.thetoolboxshop.com/0-562-12-12v-low-pressure-warning-buzzer-90db-4748.html?gclid=CjwKEAjw6Z2pBRCmvaXq6d7FjUoSJAAc5Lri6TrnYWMW9BDIqIWnUSLbdwzfr4Jc2DcNqmlN8x3SlBoCVDPw_wcBI'm guessing but assume that without a momentary disabling switch the thing will give a blast each time on start up.Anyone have any experience or comments?

Raider Posted April 11, 2015 Share Posted April 11, 2015 I agree with Colin (sounds familiar doesn't it).I have done this in my rally cars over the years. In addition you could also wire in another warning light such as an indicator repeater lamp and mount that somewhere you won't miss it if it comes on.

esxefi Posted April 11, 2015 Share Posted April 11, 2015 wire it with a heated rear screen(timer) relay.if the car won't start or has trouble starting the buzzer wont sound until the relay trips(usually 10mins)can't remember what the connections are without seeing one but they are normally open until energized then closed until timed out,would need to reverse wire through an additional relay so the circuit is erh,..reversed so to speak. :)just had a search and this should fit the bill......http://www.12voltplanet.co.uk/adjustable-delay-timer-relay-delay-on-or-off-12v-10a.html?gclid=CMzL5-Sb7sQCFWrkwgodE7QA2Q Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oil_on_the_carpet Posted April 11, 2015 Share Posted April 11, 2015 1975 - you just got in your Triumph, started it and drove it.2015 - People fret endlessly about old pressures, bearings, thrust washers and a dozen other things that never bothered us back in the day,. :-/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
