I am fitting an electrical oil pressure guage as well as an oil warning light. The sender is huge!. After a lot of thinking and googling i came to realise that the spare facit petrol pump i have has 1/8th NSF threaded connectors. One of these fits perfectly into the oil pressure switch hole. So I ended up making a new aluminium "mainfold" to carry the sender and switch, which can be fed from the existing outlet. looks different! The nice thing about this is that i will be able to pick up the wires from the temp sender and these 2 senders into a single loom.

I wanted to try to make the HT leads look neat. My original thought was to take them up and back down in a bunch onto the dizzy top. The plugs for cyl 1 and 2 foulded the dizzy so that wouldnt work Sad so plan 2 is now in force. I have made a silicon rubber ht lead spacer so the leads come out of the dizzy neatly. more to do yet

Today I made a new bend to go between the carb and the manifold. I had altered the original reliant one, but wasn't happy with it and the dashpot plunger was a little close to the tank and hard to get out, much happier with this now. Its steel, but i think if i paint it aluminium coloured or the colour of the frame it will look ok

Neatly done sir. Found that I had to wrap mine in insulation, to help retain the heat transferred from the manifold. Think the fuel was condensing on the back wall of the bend.

Thanks Olds. I did wonder about that as the original reliant had a water jacket. I am toying with the idea of a spiral wrap of copper microbore central heating pipe and running the water through as the original reliant did.
