oil pressure guage kits

[Guest]

I am going to fit an oil pressure gauge to my Stag. I notice some suppliers do kits, some with a plastic oil feed pipe. What experiences havepeople had with the different supplier kits? Are any better than others? Do some match the existing gauges better? Are the platic oil pipes Ok? thanks for your help. Spin

Wassup Spin, I got the T peice from Paddocks,a TR6plastic pipe from Rimmers and used a TR6 oil pressure gauge as its the same font as my other instuments (Mk 2 dash). The hardest thing was waiting for a TR6 gauge to turn up (flee bay).Obviously I had to lose the clock but the dash looks the way Triumph should have made it in the first place IMHO

Thanks Tee Cee, any particular year TR6? Might be hard to find, will need to start looking.

Yeah that looks good. My 77 Stag has black bevel gauges where yours are chrome. They might supply either, will check. Spin

early TR6 gauges match the Mk 1 dash, and later one's match the Mk2's ...

Hiya Spin, have a look at MGBEEHIVE, they do the dual gauge at a better price than most, swapping the bezel over with your OE temp gauge is easy,and yes, the plastic pipe is fine. Martin

P.S. We used to live in East Victoria Park, whereabouts are you ?

If you want a Mk2 OP guage, get in touch with TR Bitz. They sold me one earlier this year. You can wait ages for one on fleebayand then it will fetch silly prices. Just don't tell TR Bitz it is for a Stag..............

I tried that and they said you had bought the last one!!

Here's one I picked up on ebay, not a TR6 one but I think it looks OK.

I was chasing a 'right way up'gauge for a while. Ended up with a Landrover one (easy to find and relatively cheap) which does the job better but doesn't match the others and a TR6 one (harder to get hold of more expensive) that has a less informative gauge but looks 'right'.

Here's the Landrover one:

And the TR6 one:

Neither the Landrover nor the TR6 ones are well enough calibrated to be much use when viewed whilst driving, I would have thought that, as there's no original Stag gauge, a slight compromise showing accurate info was more important than the look ! Martin.

I just wanted something that gave some indication of what was going on with the oil pressure and my gauge (which I now know is a Landrover one) is better than a broken clock....(although I admit it was 100% accurate twice everyday)
