RE: [MarcosManiacs] Oilprussere hose and adaptor

Have you tried Marshall Moore of Classic Motors at http://www.cmw-tvr.com
which now has Marcos parts.

Thanks,

Subject: [MarcosManiacs] Oilprussere hose and adaptor

 

As mentioned in earlier posts, the oil pressure hose on my '69 3.0 V6 Marcos
broke during the winter.

I have temporarily replaced it with another hose, just so I can use the car.

But; when testing it, it now leaks from the adaptor.

 

I have sent a mail to Burton in order to order the correct parts.

But it takes loooong time to get answers from them.

 

Is there another source for parts for the 3.0 V6 Essex engine, quicker than
Burton Power?

 

Thankful for quick reply - summer is approaching, fast.

New hose has been fitted , but I wonder...

Do I have to fill the hose with oil, prior to connecting it to the oil
pressure gauge - or will the pressure from the engine arrange this?
