haircutmike said: I am exited when it comes to loosing my hydraulic P/S, can't wait! Daz, my oil temp pickup is on a fitting on the hose going to the oil cooler. Oil pressure pickup is from the same point that the old electric oil pressure sender screws in to. Keep at it John, a very entertaining and imformative thread, (in technicolour as well!). I'll be bringing my chim down to you to have that electric P/S conversion done, what's your address?  So why is my oil pressure sender in the sump..

The oil pressure pickup is in the bottom of the front cover adjacent to the pump.

well been at it again started on the body some stress cracks where the front is laminated to the tub which i have ground out ready to relaminate, also the area behind the manifold on the offside where the heat shield is supposed to be (most had gone)has been badly affected so i have cut it out will use it as a mould for a new one and laminate in place. the prefit on the steering is great brackets sorted but not fabricated as yet, i was going to extend the steel on the pedal box to accommodate the bottom bearing but i have decided to leave it so as it can break out in the event of a shunt and double up so to speak on the double knuckle setup and sliding joint of the autograss power unit, blower fitting wednesday will take pics as i work got to sort the drive alignment and belt adjuster position and fixing i promise pics will follow just been full on lately.
