  • I'm doing OK for replacement gauges at the minute. Today I got an originl NOS (New Old Stock) oil pressure gauge. This came from the famouus auction site from a seller in France.

  • This is one of the most intersting things I've attempted on my jeep so far. I bought an original fuel (gas) gauge on the famous auction site, I had no idea if it worked or not. I found some superb info on what to look for on the G503 website (Courtesy of Elwood Jay Blues - Cheers!), if you need it, follow this link: http://www.g503... more

  • OK, not a massive amount happening, mostly due to other commitments at the weekend taking up all the time plus rubbish weather. But, I did manage to fit a brand new fuel pipe from the pump to the carb. The old one had burred fittings and I had to use thread tape to seal it (shockingly bad form I know!).
