Smiths oil pressure gauge rubber link hose

Post by Andmurph »

The Smiths oil pressure gauge feed pipe on the Midget is perished and leaking. Can anyone please recommend a suitable replacement hose and supplier?
The dual water temp / oil pressure gauge has a copper pipe coming from the back of the gauge through the bulkhead. Presumably the original copper coils eventually cracked with constant vibration and movement and was replaced with this rubber link pipe. The rubber has been perishing for a couple of years. Last year I trimmed the ends to stop leaks but not its weeping along its length under pressure and needs replacing.

Many thanks

Andrew

Fantastic, thanks Paul.

I use MGOC spares a lot for both Midget and Morris Minor. I missed it on their site though.
