Thanks for your reply.I’ll have a look at Bull.
Lost two stone in five weeks,and it shows.Otherwise just tired all

Ok,sorry for delay in replying but have a dose of c19.Over it now.
My gauge has the two adjusting nuts on the back so I am assuming I need an old sensor? Tried everything else,just will not work.John.

Hi all,anyone got a water temp gauge and sender that will work on my ‘52 positive earth MM?
Thanks,John.

The ignition switch lead to opposite side of gauge.

Everything checks out and yes,it is genuine old Smiths.Tried swapping leads with same result,ie,goes to 30 on gauge.

Thanks for reply.
Sensor is correctly earthed and gauge goes to start point when ignition is on. As engine warms no other movement from gauge.

Hi all,help needed again!
Trying to fit Smiths water temp gauge to my ‘52.Now tried two sensors but neither work,seems I need to get a Smiths sensor? Can anyone help with this?
Thanks,John.

Thankyou,John.

Hi all,can anyone post a diagram on how to wIre a Smiths Electric water temp gauge please.Electrics definitely not my strong point!
Thanks,John.

Hi all,just purchased a set of rings for my side valve MM.I take it the bottom ring is just to hold the piston steady.? Mine has dowels in the bottom ring lands. Should there be a correct way to gap the ring?the dowel is approx 4mm so impossible to gap to 2 thou.4 ring pistons.
Definitive answer is,,,

In need of four ring piston bottom rings plus 40 thou for side valve engine.
Any help please.

Thanks guys,most helpful.

Re my last post,is there anyone on here who can regrind the crank and supply bearings for my sidevalve engine? I know there are numerous engineering shops around but I would prefer someone here to do the job.Or has anyone got a good crank with bearings for sale?
John.

This has a built in PRV,my existing one does not have this.

I should have mentioned I have the side valve engine.Its a ‘52 model.

Hi guys,just picked up this oil filter housing.Question is will it fit straight on to my engine and work correctly?
Thanks,Johnny.

Hi all,the time has come for regrinding crank.Any recommendations for regrind and new shells? This is for my ‘52 side valve.
Thanks,John.
