Dear FOTers,
Some of you have moved the oil pressure pickup line from its original
location to the oil gallery to get a better indication of the oil pressure
the engine is actually seeing. What fittings did you use to do this?
If an oil gallery plug hole were drilled and tapped to 3/8" pipe thread, the
line could be taken out of the engine using 03 AN Aeroquip hose and fittings.
How do you convert to a 1/8 steel line or adept to the gage; or are there
better ways?
Another elementary question: I came across a couple of unused flexible brake
hoses that I had bought for a past street cars (long gone), and never got
around to installing them. These hoses will screw into a spare TR-3 front
brake caliper. Are these hoses interchangeable with Triumph brake hoses, or
are there some subtle differences? Both the US and England were on the
English system at that time.
