The Canadian produced MK-I* vehicles started with a mechanical device but changed over to electric. I know that does not help with your British production, but the vehicle Stephen has is Canadian, as is his upgraded 100 hp engine.

Hi Petr

Yes that's the earlier British type gauge. Smiths and ARIC make the same gauge, only difference is the makers name on the face, both are correct. Yes it's just connected to the engine by a copper pipe from the same place.

They work well.

Ben

Its interesting that even mine carrier is very late production, Britons kept this "obsolete" style of gauges to the end. Very british!

Petr, Bowden (capillary type gauges) have a reputation for being reliable.
