Re: 1098 oil pressure light pressure.
An audible alarm wired to the higher pressure is also an option :tu1: As you say Phil an early warning of dropping pressure is preferable. Oil temp is particularly advantageous In a competition engine such as yours. Did once have a rod exit the side of the block on the dyno before the oil pressure d...

Re: 1098 oil pressure light pressure.
But if it comes on driving its probably too late, much prefer a gauge, that's why
I have oil and temp guages next to each other, you get used to normal needle positions and notice if out of the norm, even when not reading the actual numbers.

Re: 1098 oil pressure light pressure.
Depending on switch but normally 3 to 7 psi , I am sure someone will know the factory standard.

Re: Gearboxes
The output shaft speed would be the same versus road speed as it's the diff ratio. If the speedo drive pinion ratio that the ruling factor, count the revolution of speedo drive to revolutions of out put on both gearboxes.
A different 3rd gear as example would only effect engine rpm to vehicle speed.

Re: Remote brake assist servo - how they work
Remove the vacuum hose from servo end and plug it, brake fluid can still pass through servo but without diaphragm assistance. Compare this brake feel with when the pipe is normally connected.
When working correctly the effect is dependant on what ratio servo is fitted.

Re: Diff oil
It’s no longer featured in this tin, anyone know if this omission is the way now or maybe just the make of grease. Interesting to hear. I haven't opened any of the grease we recently got, but it makes me wonder if ours will be the same. The silly thing was that at the time of purchase you could get...

Once had one of the technicians ask me to look at why every time he tried to connect the earthwire for the roof beacon to the cab frame it sparked. I switched it off then attached the wire, i gave up trying to explain its 24v positive until its fully grounded

You can get 90 degree seat belt bracket online and use spacers if you need more height.
