Yeah mite keep eye on them or mite try and fit the smiths see if they work as my sierra one knackered

I've got some. Let me dig them out of the garage and take some photos...

[Grizzly]

OK, Here you go.

I ended up buying a couple of these during my build but the others worked fine, so I never actually used these ones. I think they're OK though.

Two things to note;

Firstly, One of the circuits is broken (see third pic)

Should be an easy fix, or bypass altogether.

Secondly, There's no plug I'm afraid.

 

So, £10 plus £4 for P+P if you're interested?

 

Let me know...

Thats a good price...shame I've already bought one.....

 

Is there anything to look out for when fitting these i.e. is it pretty much plug & play (I know the wiring is slightly different & I've got the details of which wire is which), thinking more along the lines of fuel gauge, speedo calibration etc?

Hi Rich,

 

Fuel Gauge is straightforward enough. I remember clamping the sender to the roll over bar and using a piece of propped up cardboard to help me calibrate the travel of the float against the Gauge. The cardboard was marked corresponding to the tank height and I extended the float arm so that it would cover the full travel, from Empty to Full. Works a treat!

Speedo is compatible with type 9 box and std Ford running gear and so was within limits for SVA.

Rev Counter picks up from the coil IIRC.

Temp Gauge needs a Capri sender (I think it's a white collared one?).

Oil Pressure is also simple, but you'll need a T-Bar connector (Burtons) to tap off in Tandem from where the Oil Pressure switch screws into the block.

That just leaves the Ammeter, which is a bit of a pain because things have moved on since the Capri days regarding electrics. Anyway, I wired it on the Alternator wire. One at a point near the Alternator itself and one way back under the dash. The point is to get a measure of the electrical difference between the two points, which correspond/reflect what what the Alternator's doing. At least it's not a dissused Gauge. HTH.

Thanks, sounds simple enough. Already have the oil pressure hose & t bar connector & have a spare fuel sender to have a play around with.
