Re: Oil pressure hose and adaptor

2008-04-30 by geirooye

I would advice to also get in touch with Marcos Heritage to obtain
parts for these old cars. You'll find them at http://www.rory.uk.com/

They're usually quite quick in answering and if they have the part
it'll be on its way within a couple of days.
