the full scale deflection on the gauge is achieved with a 400ohm resistance across terminal T and ground which sender unit should i use?

this is the fit I got on my two mogs... but I had to cheat a bit on the springs....

Phil thanks!

what is the correct clearance for the bonnet when closed? mine is now less than 1 cm

hi ! following some meter readings of a full scale deflection on my splitty fuel gauge, it was determined that the full is obtained by a 400 ohm resistance while empty is obtained by shorting to earth. My actual sender unit (not sure if it was ever paired to my gauge) was giving readings of much hig...

quoted from wilson auto Using GM as an example, and many other classic manufacturers will be similar, lets discuss some of the specifics of the sender. Older GM cars from the 30s through the 60s have senders that work on a 30 ohm scale range. Zero ohms means the tank is empty and 30 ohms mean the ta...

just for the records, the bonnet was not closing properly because the bonnet latch spring was fully compressed and was hindering any further adjustment of the bonnet closure.

for the 2nd time (in 3 restorations) i had to cut a couple of turns off the spring !!

Hi all would someone confirm please that the fuel gauge should read full when connected to 12v and earth on the respective terminals ?

cheers

It looks to be the right length. For comparison:- https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Morris-minor-bonnet-catch-used/282843674957?hash=item41dacbf94d:g:tsUAAOSwmFNZZ9f2 The early pins were 3/8" BSF Pt No: AAA1865, the later pins were 3/8" UNF Pt No: 14A6586. The later pins are available from MOSS....

so maybe its not even from a minor :/ are they usually shorter then?

Hi could someone please advice what type and size of thread does the bonnet latch pin . (pic) has? My problem being, the bonnet is still quite open when the pin thread is fully tightened in. Please note that I'm not sure it is the same pin the car had before restoration cause some parts went missing...

found out that fuel feed pump from the tank is blocked, tried with compressed air and no success :/ any ideas on how to unblock without replacing the pipe , for now?

thanks!! the pump is pumping air so maybe diaphragm is intact, i'll put some more fuel in tank and maybe use a compressor through the pipes to ensure no blockages. Should i prime the feeder pipe would it help?

Today I started (after a good 5 years a fossil) this beauty in the Making! My dads car we own for 45 years! However the fuel pump is ticking but no fuel out in the carb any ideas whats wrong please? could it be the membrane?

thanks

esm now has shiny ones.... hope they last more ... cause they cost more too....

Agreed they'd be good as under-bumper additionals if orange and with a suitable flash-rate (if self-flashing). Dynamoregulatorconversions recommend coloured LEDs for most applications, e.g. red LED bulbs behind a red stop/tail lens, which I have recently fitted. Yo PB Good hols ? Good ta FD. Flight...

Pic self explanatory... I had this as a spare for a few years not even opened the plastic bag and its broken .... any ideas where to great healthy ones please?

Hi has anyone used these leds for trafficators by any chance?

by any chance anyone knows which led bulb is suitable for our trafficators out of this list of self flashing bulbs? thanks
