What have you done today with your Austin Seven
   

What I did today was have the connection for the oil pressure gauge pipe just shear off as I put it into the crankcase. The sheared off bit of thread came out easily enough, so it was not caused by binding or chewed up thread. Not sure whether it came from a cherished supplier or a local hydraulic supplier. What is slightly worrying is if someone had a bad batch delivered, poor manufacture causing the failure Not good on the bench, but far worse if  another owner has the connector shear off whilst in action in the car.
