Oil Pressure Sender Query

PostPost by: tonyabacus » Fri Feb 04, 2022 11:59 am

As already noted one of the benefits of an oil pressure warning light is because they tend to attract your attention more quickly than a gauge and therefore well worth fitting. It may not fit with the concours rebuild but gives peace of mind.

Most race cars fit a light which often is quite large in size so it is easily spotted and usually well within the drivers line of sight ahead. But on an Elan you perhaps want something a bit more discreet than that, and it is possible to fit another lamp next to the handbrake warning light on the right hand side, but make sure the bulb and colour is bright enough to get your attention.

It is a small mod that costs probably less than a fiver, and certainly less than a £5000 engine rebuild!

and if you don't want an extra lamp, fit a buzzer , it'll keep you awake on those long tight bends...

Thanks folks, I'll certainly consider adding some form of warning device.
