I'm looking for an oil pressure gauge which will fit the
50.something-or-other mm dia. hole in my 1990 90 dashboard where the clock
would be if it were a more up market model (i.e. it needs to be the same size
as the fuel and temperature gauges).

There are lots of hydraulic bits about which have the right pressure display
range, but I haven't found one which is the right size yet. Anyone know where
I can get 'the right thing' or if it's a standard part to those who know the
LR part number?

Nick.

they're 52mm diameter. most motor accessory places list 'em. Generally I
prefer the kind with a pipe to the gauge (although they can be more
difficult to fit) but you can get electric gauges with a sender on the
engine.

Here's one:

U sell a capillery one ( as mention by Austin ) for £19.95 plus delivery.
It is a TIM gauge - comes with the capillery tube but really needs a T piece
as well so you can keep your pressure switch for the warning light ( about
£3 )

Email or phone 01938.850382 for more info....

Couldn't find TIM ones online at the time and I was about to go out. They
are indeed cheaper, I've had 'em before.
