I have enjoyed my OldBritts gage. I'd buy another if they were available.

Is there anything similar being offered?

TIA
 
Back in the 70s a good mate of mine gave me a brand new Smiths 100PSI oil gauge still in the box, matches the stock gauges, but I never installed it and sits on my self in the shed, a few years ago I got my Norton gauges rebuilt and the shop they had the oil line kit to be able to mount it, just had to mount the gauge in between the tac and speedo I just made a mounting bracket, well that was about 15 years ago and it's still sitting on my self, I just thought after 48+ years without an oil pressure gauge so never bothered to hook it up, but it looks good on the self with all my other gauges I have collected over the years, I ran into my old mate a few months ago and told him I still have that gauge he gave me all them years ago.
So maybe find someone who specializes in selling/rebuilding gauges as most have full new kits that will look good, you never know you might get a new Smiths oil gauge to match.
You never know.

The bracket puts guage at a rather fixed angle with limited adjustment while guage needs fair amount of clearance behind it as there is a rubber conical fairing on the back. This meant it needed to stand with face almost veritcal, looked weird and could not be veiwed well from riding position. I think it was primarily aimed at Triumph mounting though it had oil line fitting specially for Commando.
 
DennisMo, I’m pleased with the Holland Norton Works gauge too, modified the fixing plate slightly so it sits centrally. Good people to deal with.

Stevo,
That looks really nice and all you needed to do was file the square corners to round.
Wish I had thought of that. I may have shortened the backet too much to try that now.

Thanks Dennis. The grade of stainless steel was a particularly tough to cut I remember.

This is the one I made and like. May start making them to sell.

Versions of Commando

Been doing a tremendous amount of cross year parts compatibility across many early years. Had to categorize frames or I would go batty! LIKE... Gardern Gate plunger or swing arm LIKE Featherbed wideline or slimline chassis THEREFORE all Commando, which we know by it's name, means isolastic...
