Anyone Fitted an Oil Gauge on a 1275cc ITAL engine

I had an oil pressure gauge on the old 1098cc engine but on fitting the 1275cc there isn't room for the pressure switch - anyone fitted a gauge to the Ital engine so it doesn't foul?

Automatic Gearbox

I have a 1275cc engine fitted and wondered if anyone was aware of a minor running an automatic gearbox and if so what type?

Front Spax suspension kit

I was wondering if anyone had fitted a Front suspension modification using the birmingham minor Centre SPAX kit? Was it easy to fit and how big a difference has it made?

any views whether this is a bettter mod than an anti roll bar?

Thanks

Rear window frames on a convertible

Are the tops of the convertible rear side window frames the same as on a four door saloon's rear door frame?

I have fitted a new speedo 1408 tpm and the speedo is now reading within 10% even with 13" wheels. It looks like the old speedo was just knackered and gave such inaccurate readings. thanks to one and all

It is a black face but the odometer isn't working.

the 1408 is also black face but has KPH as well as MPH. Need to look for a lower Turns per mile - or think i might just get a SATNAV which shows MPH as an easier alternative!

Speedo Readings

My current speedo has a 1378 turns per mile rating and it is reading slow. I have a speedo with 1408 turns per mile rating. Will this be better and is the difference likely to be 2% faster than than the existing?

Thanks

reading minor matters and the post production trav/van made me think that this could be the way forward. A fibreglass structure replacing the wood/ roof and providing the living (sic) space. An entrance through the back doors would help to keep the structure more rigid. I wonder what the comparable ...
