LBC fans everywhere,
The car, Frame off, total rebuild 1957 MGA...
The screw-up (?), oil in the oil pressure tube all the way up to the gauge...
The query: Am I correct in assuming that the oil pressure gauge is controlled by Bernoulli's principle and as such reads the pressure of the compressed AIR in the feed tube from the engine block as the oil moves up the tube and compresses the air within.
In other words, there should be no oil actually traveling up the tube into the gauge. Correct???? /bcforum/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/rolleyes.gif
While I am at it... /bcforum/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/smile.gif
Anyone know where I can purchase the 'hold down' brackets for the Tach and the Speed-o-meter.... Mine have mysteriously disappeared... At least I have been unable to find them in my 'stack-o-stuff'....
