I was under the impresion they simply have a low oil pressure switch, same as the 2H.

The low oil pressure cutout switch was replaced with a low oil level indicator. As far as I know it just lights up an indicator in the dash that the oil level in the sump is low, and there is no engine cutout like the 2h

They are just a bit of steel with a floating dodah on the end of it...about 10 cm long all together...undo the 4 screws and pull it out next time you drop the oil...allit does is scare the cap outof you on left hand corners...

They are worth a small fortue, even from the wreckers, about $500 new and about $300 from the wreckers.....

The float is a rubber/plastic material and makes contact accross two thingys, will post pic if i get a chance.

Common prob with them is that the outside plastic electrical terminal gets broken off (trail debris).

I'm actually thinking of using the opening for an oil return from an external oil filter. Im thinking I could make an adapter up that spaces the sender unit out about an inch and use longer bolts to hold the hole thng together. An also extending the float shaft an extra inch to suit.

Hi Shane...its probably easier to make a safari turbo oil return into the sump...this was done by grinding a square taper on a piece of round the right size, then punching it through the sump in situ....b4 runing a tap through and then a pipe fitting.....

Thanks for that
