Gauge Adapters
A range of adapters to take all types of capillary gauge, they are designed to be fitted into oil or water hoses. Oil hose adapters are 2 part aluminium die castings with an O ring seal. Hose connections are male push on, JIC, BSP or female NPTF. Water hose adapters are machined from billet.

Best if immediately visible, ours are 29mm diameter with a choice of red, yellow, green, blue or clear lens, they have a removable diffuser under the lens which may be titled using dry print lettering. A T5.5 side contact bulb is accessed from the front and is sealed against ingress of dust, oil and water. Weight is 1.5 grams.

All engines have a tapping on an oil gallery to take the oil pressure warning transmitter, we make a range of T pieces to screw into this tapping, T pieces have one male thread to screw into the oil gallery, a female thread to take the original transmitter and a female 1/8 NPTF tapping which allows a pressure switch or a 1/8 BSP female pressure gauge line to be attached via a MMS10-3-3 adapter.

Low oil pressure switches are offered as alternatives to the" whoops its too late" pressure warning transmitters fitted as original equipment, ours provide a warning when the oil pressure drops below the desired running pressure, they can irritate by actuating a warning when the engine is ticking over but are absolutely essential for spotting signs of trouble in a competition engine.
They have a 1/8 NPTF thread so screw into matching thread on T piece and use a suitable pressure gauge adapter on the thread vacated by original transmitter. We also offer a fuel pressure warning switch for carburettor engines, an essential to warn of failing pumps, blocked lines or filters all of which can cause a weak mixture to melt pistons in seconds on a highly stressed engine. A nil pressure fuel switch may be fitted downstream of an electric fuel pump to turn pump off in the event of an accident resulting in fuel line rupture etc.
