The S1 was positive earth & when we swapped engines to negative earth gauge worked the same.
But we did remove the Dynamo & rectifiers

Mine's got an alternator not a dynamo now but I don't really want to put an aftermarket fuel gauge on it

The S1 is on an alternator now & still runs the original one gauge .never swapped the cables over
when did your problems start?

It's always been like it, reading back through the history it seems the only answer is fit a series 3 gauge
I'll have to live with an upside down gauge...

About to test an S2 sender and guage on the bench on tues dont know if its still neg ground on vehicle suspect it is as wiring fubar and still has a generator which will be tested at same time...but dont think earth change should make a difference to guage but i'll try both to see and let you know...

I can see a trip to craddock coming on when the counter reopens for a chat with Steve, he usually points me in the right direction when it comes to early and later part numbers....
i dont have one of these on my 2A, think they came in later on
Again Iirc the earlier sender is NLA and as rare as hens teeth.
I think later cars had the voltage stabiliser, the real mans early cars had full fat voltage
Petrol 236017
Diesel 271230, seems to cross over to 529969, neither cheap!

I ain't that desperate at the mo, according to craddocks the part number has been superceded It's got a new voltage regulator which I bought the same time as I made the loom

Bargain!
I aint looked at mine for ages, but diesel models also have a low fuel warning built in.

I'll add the sender to the list of things I'll splash out on one day along with a rebuilt steering box that will take my old wire steering wheel, a new front bumper, an overdrive and a matching spare tyre

Wire steeing wheels look nice, but in the cod and damp turn your hands brown, hence they all seem to have covers on them
You can adjust the steering box.
Overdrives are er overrated!
As are matching spares.

Alas no, in my haste to get the steering wheel off a rottten series I bought to break to sell I opted for the angle grinder instead of plusgas
I thought that the steering box I'd already got would take the wire type I'd got but alas it only takes the bakerlite looking jobber
