keith w Posted November 12, 2016 Report Share Posted November 12, 2016 Another Grinnall related question. Does anyone know what this rusty looking item is please? I don't remember it from the strip down but it is attached with a tamper proof screw, a kind I've not come across before so it must have been there all along. It looks sort of proper. It's wired into the dash loom. Many thanks Keith Quote Link to post Share on other sites
BlueTR3A-5EKT Posted November 12, 2016 Report Share Posted November 12, 2016 Looks like a voltage stabiliser for the fuel and temp gauge. Peter W Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Posted November 12, 2016 Report Share Posted November 12, 2016 (edited) Looks like a voltage stabiliser for the fuel and temp gauge. Peter W just reading this thread. You beat me to it. Looks like the setup under a Spitfire's dash. But I am not sure about the wiring's colours. IIRC, the wiring should be green and light green. And I am pretty sure there are only two connectors on the stab. Blue has -normally- to do with the headlights and green/red with the turn signal - correct me if I am wrong...

DaveR Posted November 13, 2016 Report Share Posted November 13, 2016 Its not a Voltage stabiliser. It the low fuel delay unit. Its triggered by the low fuel switch in the tank and then switches on the low fuel warning light. Once the fuel is getting low it stops the low fuel light blicking on and off as the fuel level slops about. There are one or two of what I would call modern features on the TR7!

Chris59 Posted November 13, 2016 Report Share Posted November 13, 2016 Dave is right, and it's failry easy to confuse with a voltage stabiliser, as it looks identical, except the connectors and colours of the wires. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
keith w Posted November 13, 2016 Author Report Share Posted November 13, 2016 Aha! Many thanks for the information gentlemen. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
