Wanted......Oil Pressure gauge.
« on: Tuesday,April 12, 2016, 07:02:16 PM »
Last weekend I started my TC and saw 15 psi on the gauge. Darn! Anyway today I hooked up a new but wrong gauge and saw 40 psi. Sigh of relief!
So now I need an appropriate gauge, please. Any ou there?

Hey Roger, I saw a couple of oil pressure gauges on ebay that may work for the twink, at lest they have the same 0-60 psi range. The second one is just the guts, no casing, but should work.

Well, looking closer at the first one, it looks to be electrical, not mechanical. can't tell if the second one is mechanical or not. I also saw an gauge for an S2 also.

Thanks, I've seen those on eBay too. Just a bit pricey for the wrong gauge! The S2 is promising, but is the wrong range.

Roger,

I guess you didn't get the email I sent you.

Here are the two oil pressure gauges I have. The one on the left is one from my TC and is pretty rough. The one on the right is electric and in good shape.

Let me know if you're interested.

I did get your email, and replied too! Maybe to the wrong address? it was a bit confusing, sorry.
You said in the email they were in good shape - I'm tempted by the electric one, if I can get an appropriate sender, because then I can ditch the oily never-has-but-might-leak pipe! Do you know if it requires 10v stabilised supply like most of its contemporary gauges? What did it come from?

Anyway, I've forwarded my email reply to what may be your correct address.Let's continue by email, the discussion will bore most I think.
