Removing the rectangular oil pressure gauge

[Stewart]

Found a very quick and easy way of removing the rectangular oil pressure gauge in the 68 to 76 mgb with the dash in place.

First you need to remove the tach and the speedometer.

Second you will need a 1/4 driver and a wrench that fits over the end of said driver

Place the driver over the nut and then use the wrench on the hex end of the driver to loosen the nut.

Takes about 2 minutes to remove the gauge.

results in nasty cruddy oil gauge on the bench to be cleaned.

It came out so quick no time for pictures. Putting it back in sucked as keeping the leather washer and screwing the line on was a pitb. But in the end it was worth it. I cleaned up gauges, sprayed the inside of the cans gloss white and replaced all the bulbs with led. White for the gauges and heater controls and green for the lights/heater/hazard
