Hi Spadge

I've got an instruction book at home I can copy tomorrow and send to you if you like? In fact I might even have a spare booklet ( I've had 2 of these gauges ) I can send you?

Alternatively speak to Tony Taylor at Spa ( T.Taylor@spa-uk.co.uk ) and see if he can email/send some today if it's really urgent?

Realistically with first class post you're not going to get mine till Friday as it will be tomorrows post I can catch

Cheers

Mike

All sorted now fella's thank you

Another couple of questions however
For the oil pressure sender i need an adaptor so i can put it where the oil light switch is, does anyone know the thread size for the sender?
Also for the oil temp i need a threaded sump plug so i can screw the oil temp sender into it? Anyone know where i can get one or i will have a standard one machined.
Cheers again

Spadge,

I have the same gauge - can't help you with the thread size on the pressure sender ( as I don't know it ) but the Spa temp sender will fit inside a suitably machined sump plug. Mike Rainbird got me one made by his local engineering company as the one in Shrewsbury that I tried were unwilling to do something so radical....

I'll have a look and see if I've still got the modded sump plug if you like as I now have the sender screwed into a boss on the sump.

Also be aware ( if this is an old version of the gauge - i know you said you had no manual? ) that the backlight failing is a known problem that Spa can fix

Cheers
