Hi, I'm new to the forum - wish I'd found it sooner before rebuilding the Lightweight. Anyhow, it's up to MOT standard and I'm just sorting out niggles....
I've fabricated a new dash (full bulkhead width) and with that, a new instrument console that fits central to the driver as opposed to central to the vehicle. Whilst re-doing the dash I decide to upgrade the guages, specifically the water temp and fuel to separate ones out of a 90/110 however I am now not getting the correct readings. The problems are:
- The Temp guage (I know it has it's own voltage stabilizer built in) sits just below the Red when the engine is at normal operating temp - is this a sender problem, and does anyone know which sender to use? (fits into a 2.25 petrol)
- The fuel guage registers just above empty all the time; the tank has been 1/4 full and marked at 3/4 full too, but the needle doesn move. I have a Series III sender too....
Anyone done this before and know a remedy?
Cheers,
Dave
