Tim, I forgot to mention how I add a pic in a post.
Above the reply box there is a banner and on that click on the extreme right image symbol. When it opens click on the camera symbol to the right of the “source” box which should then open up your files and allow you to search them.
There may be other ways but I don’t know them and would welcome further advice.
The Face runs continually unlike say an SU which has a pressure switch.
I suggest you fit a pressure regulator and adjust it to suit your engine’s fuel system.

Fabulous Ben, The smile says it all.
Now don’t forget you got the veg to peel before you can carry on with your toys.
Tim,
If the tank appears in otherwise sound condition I suggest you take it out, flush it and clean with Frosts tank flush then coat it internally with their tank sealing liquid. It should prevent further corrosion and obviate the need to put your magnet in. I would also suggest a good fuel filter near the tank outlet and at the carb end. Cheaper than a new tank.

I meant to say in the “View cars and parts wanted” section. The other sections do have a delete option.
Ben, your P would not have had fhe Cooper Stewart speedo with the Allard logo it would havs been the Smiths unit.
Both are difficult to find and expensive if you do, about ££200 – £300 for a good one.
Alvis TC-TF series used the same unit with a different bezel which youmight be able to change. I may have one if you get stuck.
I featured an excellent instrument restorer in the Autumn Tailwagger who I can recommend.
Hi Dik,
The L type and K1 dash is the same and I’m attaching a pic of the K1 dash.
Note that unlike other models the gauges are set behind the timber dash not into it.
I also have a dimensioned drawing of the gauge and instrument positioning but it is in PDF format which this site won’t accept here.
Email me and I will reply attaching it plus a few other images showing how the dash is fixed.
You will need to measure your own car for the overall size because most cares differ and the dashboard will need to be trimmed to suit.
MelQuite simple really. Drill and put a fitting into the mc cap and pipe it to the remote reservoir which shouldbe at a higher level than the mc normlly on the engine’s bulkhead.
I’m very much looking forward to receiving and reading my signed copy from Alan.
I’ve actually heard very good reports form Members already.
