Why the oil pressure gauge?

TR7 only has an oil pressure switch, which switches on the oil pressure light when the oil pressure gets low.
You need to fit a T-piece/adaptor so you can fit the pressure switch and an oil pressure sensor ...

'Clocks' is a term for dials or gauges.

As noted above you need to remove the existing oil pressure switch and replace it with a 'T' piece (readily available if you google it, just need to get the right size which I can't remember). You then fit the existing oil pressure SWITCH into one port of the 'T' and the SENSOR for the gauge in the other. The gauges normally come with the sensor but if you do not have it check the site of the gauge manufacturer. They are also generally available but not sure if they need to be matched to the gauge (mine is capillary, not electric).

Was part of a fiitting kit for a mechanical oil gauge.
