Can anybody help :D

I have a 71 Mini K with a standard 1100 engine. Since I have owned it the Smioths Oil Pressure gauge has not worked and so I wished to fix it. I checked the gauge and discovered that the feed pipe was missing, I have since obtained a pipe and can fit it to the gauge but do not know where on the block to fit it. I have read both my manuals and they didn't help much, they just say the back of the engine and I have looked but it is not that simple. Please Help!

Thanks

Usually on a Mini-K, late `matic or Coopers the oil pipe goes straight into the block there, but if you have a switch for an oil light, you need a 1/8 BSP brass tee and a 1/8 BSP nipple, so you can fit both. :wink:
