And installed. Now this door has two firm opened positions. And I can remove the blue tape X to remind me not to open the door too far without the stay.

Back to working on oil leaks, and the pump. I set up my digital caliper with a plunge adapter.

I got measurements from .000" to .002", with most in the range of .0005" to .001"

The gasket I have in my supply measures .0045" thick.

As I understand, optimum gear clearance is .003", so I need a thinner gasket.

Before quitting, I took out the clock. I am still bummed that it worked for months, and then quit.

And I pulled the speedometer, too. This read about 10 mph off, and the odo never worked. I still have not decided if I want to try this myself or send it off (or source another one).

OK, time to start another project.

I want to add an oil pressure gauge. And I want to keep the idiot light.

From what I understand, the VDO dual sender triggers the idiot light at 7 psi, which is too high. Better to keep the stock pressure sensor, which triggers at 3 psi.

I also know that one popular solution is to mount a T-fitting on a flex hose. But the flax hose makes me nervous, so I want to try a solid approach. That can have other problems, but I have some ideas--have to see how things work out.

Anyway, here is a VDO brass adapter.

A trial fitting. Yes, the stock sensor will live inside the air ducting, and will need an extension for the wire.

A view from above the sheet metal. The stock hole will probably need enlarging for the VDO sender. That was supposed to get delivered yesterday, but my local USPS is full of excuses.

The pressure gauge will also need a new wire from the engine to the center console. Here I started the new yellow wire through the snorkel. Why yellow? Duh.

A bit more progress (or planning) for the oil pressure system. Here is the VDO sender. I got the dual sender, even if I don't use the low pressure trigger.

The hole in the sheet metal is tool small, but not by much. I will worry about this later.

Here's the configuration I have in mind. I know this has a bit of weight unsupported, and could lead to fatigue.
