Member Jonathan Kay Posted August 30, 2016 Member Share Posted August 30, 2016 I'd start with Caterham, Redline and Caerbont.Jonathan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Go4it1011 Posted August 30, 2016 Author Share Posted August 30, 2016 Thanks Jonathan.I've contacted Caterham via email so might get a reply this century! I'll try the others now.Thanks Dennis Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Vine Posted August 30, 2016 Share Posted August 30, 2016 If JK's suggestions are out of stock, you could try: Jon Vicker at Millwoods Sevens & Classics James WhitingCC's Online Store says out of stock (71216, M12 thread).JV Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Go4it1011 Posted August 30, 2016 Author Share Posted August 30, 2016 Just chatted to my mechanic who tells me the one that is faulty is not standard as it is a single pin connection whereas the normal switch has three pins if that is any help Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John Vine Posted August 30, 2016 Share Posted August 30, 2016 Are we talking about the OP sender or something else? The standard sender has just one connector:JV Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
john milner Posted August 30, 2016 Share Posted August 30, 2016 Blimey, six replies and none say go mechanical. Is this a record? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Jonathan Kay Posted August 30, 2016 Member Share Posted August 30, 2016 ;-)JonathanPS: Whereabouts in France? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SM25T Posted August 30, 2016 Share Posted August 30, 2016 Switch for a low pressure warning light .... or sender as photo above. PS ... Go mechanical !! Cheaper and more reliable for pressure gauge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Go4it1011 Posted August 30, 2016 Author Share Posted August 30, 2016 It's the same as the pic above Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SM25T Posted August 30, 2016 Share Posted August 30, 2016 Caerbont won't sell direct. Redline .... Sevens & Classics or Boss Racing. Or ditch the electrical sender and fit a mechanical gauge from Think Auto. Search here for parts list in a post. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Jonathan Kay Posted August 30, 2016 Member Share Posted August 30, 2016 Caerbont won't sell direct.Wouldn't they put you through to Speedy Cables?Jonathan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Vine Posted August 30, 2016 Share Posted August 30, 2016 It's the same as the pic aboveWell, that's good news! The 3-pin comment puzzled me. Is your mechanic familiar with K 7s?You should be able to get a replacement quickly from one of the sources mentioned above.JV Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Jonathan Kay Posted August 30, 2016 Member Share Posted August 30, 2016 Well, that's good news!Did you type "that's a relief" and then change it to avoid confusion?;-)Jonathan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
