Autometer Shift light & sensors

Not sure how the following setup will work but I had to get a way to connect the oil pressure sensor, the temp sensor and the idiot lite to the block and the only way I have found was to buy 2 x 1/8" "T" pieces. While I as at the shop Ifound this red lense for my shift light.





The existing orange one with the new red.





This is how the gages setup has been installed. How it's gonna be good enough.

Plug'n play Engine

I always wanted an engine where all the electric connection will be centralised in on plug, no mess about. So once again my dad managed to make a bracket for the connector + the holder for the coil.



This is the connector one side will be connected to the loom in the van, the other side will be on the engine.





That's it the connector for the alternator/ oil pressure/ oil temp/ tacho/ coil+/ coil- and a bigger stud for the Alternator wire.

Oil Filter Bracket

My dad came to visit me this week and I gave him a mission, To make an oil filter bracket for my new engine. I left him alone and he had a bit of fun.

He first started with a 2mm piece of metal but we realised that it might not be strong enough so he went for it.
