Upon preparing to install the oil gauge in my TR3, I was dismayed to find the
universal plastic tubing kit I purchased would not mate up to the back of the
gauge. The tubing kit uses a tapered fitting while the TR3 gauge uses more of
a "top hat" type of sealing system. Is there a source for this fitting?
In the meantime, I hooked up an old black plastic tube from a TR4A oil gauge
in my old parts bin. I suppose this will be OK, provided the tube is sound.
Question 2: There is no gasket or leather washer in the fitting between the
tube and gauge. Is there supposed to be one? If so, can I substitute a tiny
o-ring?
Thanks
