Oil feed tell-tale

Hi all.. I notice on the early Wm20's they have an Oil feed tell-tale
on the timing side . Is there anyone reproducing these ????

Re: Oil feed tell-tale

I'd like one for a panel tank to fill the spare hole with as well but i presume the timing cover mounted ones are different?

Re: Oil feed tell-tale

Hi Douglas.. I do believe the one's that fit in the panel on the tank are the same as the early Austin seven , a friend of mine has fitted one!!
i Have a late 1938 M22 sports and that has a oil clock instead . I don't Know why this is as the 1938/39 m24 has the oil feed tell-tale on the timing side and also they put some in the tank

Re: Oil feed tell-tale

Thanks for the information Gary. Guess i'll check out some Austin seven sites.

Re: Oil feed tell-tale

The top ring of the Austin model has flanges with holes for screws. These can be machined however to look like the ring BSA used. The flanged ring for the Austin model is also screwed on the housing like the BSA type.

Re: Oil feed tell-tale

Hmmm.Maybe I'll just look for an old tractor horn button to fit instead. The type that fits to old tractor dashes..

Re: Oil feed tell-tale

Someone in Australia was making or had drawings for the tank mounted panel oil pressure indicator

They appeared on here earlier this year !

There were also drawings for the timing side version on here some time ago

I have only ever found one of these items, not so many about
