daedalusminos Posted September 12, 2014 Share Posted September 12, 2014 Or try eBay, you should be able to pick up a matching Smiths one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DougBGT6 Posted September 12, 2014 Share Posted September 12, 2014 But I now know that Spitfire MK3s have Jaegar dials, which I didn't know before. So, the knowledge of age passed down the years! Who am I kidding? ;D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dogsbody47uk Posted September 12, 2014 Share Posted September 12, 2014 Smith's or Jaeger ? Depends, probably whether there was a z in the month when the car was assembled. Oil pressure when hot should be 40 to 60 psi at 2000 rpm. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DougBGT6 Posted September 12, 2014 Share Posted September 12, 2014 I'm sort of worried by that, I know everybody is concerned by low pressure but mine is as high as 90 when cold and 70 to 50 when hot. :-/ Dodgy gauge, probably? :-/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mine isn't running yet, but can manage 60psi on the starter motor alone ??) it will be interesting to see what it can do when it actually runs!

Tim Bancroft Posted September 13, 2014 Share Posted September 13, 2014 In the old days, people used to claim oil pressure gauges out of Minis as the 850 and 1000 had them as standard.I'd fit a Smiths one. with braided oil hose. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
