[Alpines] S2 gas gauge

[jacranwell at aol.com]

The T piece is not the only issue. Gas leaks also occur from the float chamber gaskets and dried out Orings. I designed a heatshield between the induction and exhaust manifold, so any leaks roll back via a channel beyond the exhaust, so minimal risk of fire taking hold. I have a drawing with dimensions if anyone interested.

I've done it. By shortening the two input tubes. Its tricky. Cross over hoses
are better.

I have heard of people using copper compression fittings to connect the
carbs.
Has anyone seen this fix?

Needed help locating an
orginal S2 gas gauge. I freed the sending unit from
the evaporating ersgas and
years of setting and although they may not be the
correct resistance numbres,
at least there is a scale as the float rises and
falls. I wanted to use a S5
gauge but that required wiring in the voltage
stabiliser and knowing the
difference in ohms from a S5 sending unit to a
S2 and my Scothish friend
prefers we use an orginal gauge which is great with
me- I just want to work on
my own projects. Im also having a problem stoping
a
leak between the two S5
carbs- I used an engine from a  S5 parts car which
Hughie had rebuilt but 3
different sets of carbs and they all leaked from the
connecting tube- there
has to be a fix Im not aware of. Any suggestions and
help finding a working S2
gas gauge and info on stopping the leak is more
than
appreciated. THANKs in
advance,


Tony Lang (TtT)
