Ah! I hadn't thought of that. I've bought one of these now --> http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/370850251415 so I can get the temperature and pressure switch from the same place.

Not sure where you suggest I use a 'T' piece, in the oil cooler pipe? I hadn't thought about fitting a 20psi warning lamp. I'm not that serious about rallies, I don't do Le Jog etc.

Yeah but I rally it

Mmmm it was ABSOLUTELY blocked with gunk. I poked around with a piece of wire but all seemed blocked. Maybe 40 years of sediment.

Incidently, is there anywhere in the engines oil passages I can plug in a temperature sender unit? I want to fit an oil temperature gauge.

Thanks

Hi and thanks for looking.

I'm currently rebuilding my MGB 1800 18V engine and I've found a 'strange hole'. Does anyone know what it's for?

I now have a 1979 MG Midget ...

Well, just to finish off this post I ordered 2 AAB needles (original ones were AAU) which I've now fitted. There is a deffinate improvement in throttle response though not as much as I'd hoped although I do realise there will be weeks of small tweeks to mixtures etc. before I get it right.

Originally it was fitted with HIF4 carbs but I changed these for HS4's Sorry if this confused.

Err yes that information would be useful.

- MGB-GT Rubber bumper (this would not normally have SU carbs fitted but I swapped them)
- 1975, manufactured Sept 1974. It is one of the first R/B models with the C/B interior
- 1798cc
- UK car

Also don't forget to ensure there isn't any waxoyl inside the chassis member if you're welding a patch on the exterior of a box section.
