AdrianR 28 August 2025 Well done for looking underneath, on a low sportscar it is worth knowing where and what your minimum ground clearance is in case you have to navigate an uneven surface, be it country lanes or speedbumps.
While you are there, also check that the exhaust system has a full complement of mounting brackets in place and that the clamp bolts are sensibly aligned.

LM Cook 27 August 2025 The oil pipe from the block to the head on my TF is installed upside-down. The pickup for the oil gauge is at the head instead of the block. The oil pipe on the engine is pretty beat up, so I am going to install a better one and change the pickup location for the gauge.
I have two XPAG oil pipes. The diameter of the hole in the threaded outlet for the oil gauge on one is about .125". ... -
Dave O'Neill 2 27 August 2025 Yes, that’s correct.
Congratulations on your purchase. -
R Phelpotts 27 August 2025 Hi all I have just picked up a 79 midget 1500 and the previous owner said he fitted a new exhaust which he has. I looked underneath and the main pipe from front rear runs UNDER the rear axle, doesn't look right, or is it the correct route?

Richard Reeves 27 August 2025 Pipe came with gauge.
Why it's fat and not the capillary type I've seen IDK.
Same fitting both ends, fits my BSP to NPT adapter so 1/8" BSP 27 TPI I'm assuming, tiny gaskets required. -
Tim Carter 27 August 2025 Good to hear.
Out of interest, what does the connector on the end of your pipe look like (the one that goes on the gauge) ? Did this pipe come with the gauge ? -
Richard Reeves 27 August 2025 Without removing screw, gauge registers when on the compressor. Near identical reading to compressor gauge.
Conclusion: Don't mess with the screw. -
J Targosz 27 August 2025 I note you have to inform the DVLA of any chassis or body frame mods and have the car pass an MOT. I wonder if this will apply to cutting out part of the cross member to fit a Type 9 gearbox. More importantly will it still be allowed.

GuyW 27 August 2025 Perhaps it's a screw for factory calibration of the bourdon tube. Adjusted and set and then not to be altered?
-
William Revit 27 August 2025 Pressure test would be the best bet--
I doubt they'd fit a screw in where it could be easily overlooked like that------unless it's a million to one chance that a spare screw from assembly has found itself living there--if so it wouldn't be threaded or tight and should just tap out-
It'd be a shame to remove it if it's tight and something falls off inside.
