Seller: noslek ✉️ (548) 100%, Location: Salisbury, GB, Ships to: GB & many other countries, Item: 166642222294 CLASSIC MINI A SERIES OIL PIPE TO BLOCK BANJO BOLT ADAPTOR OIL TEMP 2A715. This is a bright mild steel banjo bolt that replaces 2A715 and provides a take off for an Oil temperature sender. The bolt is 1" across flats and has a longer bolt head that is drilled and tapped to take a 1/8" NPT tapered oil/water temperature sender, thereby providing a simple way to add an oil temperature gauge. It is fitted in place of the existing bolt which holds the oil pipe from the oil filter housing to the block on the A series engine. I have several of these and although the picture shows a nice and shiny item, as they have been stored a long time (mostly covered in ACF50 for protection), some have signs of surface corrosion. On the Minis, the banjo bolt (2A715) was replaced around 1990, so this adaptor can only be used on cars with the early type bolt fitting - you need to check your existing item to make sure it is the correct replacement. The essential difference between the early and later bolts is the length of the shaft below the bolt head. A 2A715 will measure about 33mm where as its later version will be about 42mm. As long as your bolt is about 33mm long then this can be used as a replacement. Although I am very familiar with the classic Minis, this conversion bolt can also be used on other A Series powered cars as long as the banjo bolt matches the dimensions indicated (one of the pictures is from a Morris Minor a customer purchased it for. Typical senders that can be used to provide a signal for your temperature gauge (and that fit this adaptor) are the Smiths TT6811-01 or the Lucas SNB108 (aka 1701341, 6098273, C5EH10884), although you need to match the sender output to your gauge to ensure it is accurate. NB, you can always use a water temperature gauge with this, just the gauge symbol would be wrong. I commissioned these because I wanted an oil temperature gauge on my KAD Twincam Mayfair and there was nothing available - it was almost as cheap to get several made as a single item. Mine has been in place for about 30 years - see my engine picture (yes I know it needs sprucing up!) and feeds the gauge shown in the centre top of the dash (pictured for information only - not part of the sale). Please note these should be torqued to the standard setting for the classic Mini which is 35ft lbs. Run engine and check for leaks and if necessary tighten to a maximum of 40ft lbs (make sure you use new sealing washers). I have lots of small bits for Minis that I intend to list, so if you have something specific you need, let me know and I will list it if I have it. I am happy to combine purchases on a single invoice and pack them in a single package to minimise postage costs where possible.
