Does anyone know the resistance value of the fuel sender on the P2?​ I measured the value for full, it is between 50 and 60 Ohm, for empty it should be considerably higher. I want to measure the capacity to dampen the fuel gauge. The pointer oscillates a lot when the tank is empty. My tank is full ...

Thank you for sharing your experiences with the kit.

I also posted my question in the RSR Facebook group and have already received some positive feedback there.

As you may know, my British Jaeger watch in the P2 Tourer is unfortunately not running reliably.

I have now found the company 'clocks4classics.com', which offers a repair kit:

Has anyone here had any experience with this kit?

Where can I find the ‘Reverse Lamp Switch’ on the 12 HP Tourer?

This switch is shown in the wiring diagram of the 12 HP, but it is not connected on my 1948 Tourer.
I would like to retrofit it.

It seems to be a low pressure sucking pump. If so, it is mounted at the wrong place. It should be mounted in the engine bay. More or less at carburetor height. And 30 c"m above the exhaust is a hot place. OK, that's your opinion. I see it a little differently. Let's wait and see how the pump behave...

I can see the exhaust pipe just under the pump, heating it up. Not a good position to choose, both from safety and fuel temp considerations. Also, just specifying "Hardy" is not enough. High pressure? Low pressure? either are not the correct one by position/pressure. Finally, rubber pipes are bette...

That is now my solution:

new electric hardi pump under the rear seats with filter from tank to pump and extra pump fuse for 12 volt

I would now want to disconnect the mechanical AC pump and disconnect the copper pipes at A and B. I would then connect A and B on the pump side with a hose. Then a pipe separation at C and a new hose from filter D to connection C, which leads to the carburettor. . AC Pump modifications with A B C D....

For what it’s worth! Both my 1947/8 tourers (technically export, but UK supplied)have bulkhead SU pumps. One was inside the car(!) but I preferred to take the risk of vapourising fuel to having a potential leak under the dash! I have the heat shield in place with a bit of insulation added & have ha...

Dear Thomas This is just drawn from my own experiences but hopefully something in it may be of use to you... ... Out of interest, I thought the 47 cars had an electric pump fitted rather than a mechanical one. I have a 47 12 exported to Jersey and it is so equipped. I wonder if that means your car ...
