My wife said I needed a hobby.....so imagine my surprise when I showed her a picture of a kit car, and said "Let me build this.."......and she said "I think that's a great idea!" So this blog is a chronicle of my efforts to piece together a Birkin S3 Clubman, and a tribute to my wife's patience and understanding.

Adapters
In order to fit the VDO senders for oil pressure and water temp, plus finish of the fuel regulator I needed to source some adapters. This resulted in a lot of Google research and I ended up at the Speco Automotive site. From top to bottom I got a M12x1.5 - 1/8NPT adapter for the Oil Pressure sender, a 1/8NPT (female) to 1/8BSP (male) adapter to fit the final hose tail to the service port on the SARD fuel regulator, and a 32mm radiator hose adapter that takes 1/8NPT VDO water temp sender. I fitted all of them together on the bench using Permatex thread sealer, before cleaning up and fitting to the car.
