While not knowing the background reasons for not installing the gauges, I would 
strongly recommend temporarily installing the oil pressure and water temp. Lay 
a cloth or suitable non-scratch material over the cowl in front of the 
windshield, tape done (or otherwise hold from sliding) and tape the gauges down 
onto it. Connect the gauges into the engine and radiator. Support the hood on a 
block of rubber or wood to allow the piping to exit the engine bay and you 
should be good to go. This is faster and less risk than a jury rigged plug 
letting go unexpectedly or worse yet, without knowing that it has let 
go.?Again, not knowing the reason for not installing the gauges; just my 2 
cents worth.?John R Davidson, P. Eng.H (204) 895-4523, C (204) 295-9207?From:

Subject: [Healeys] drive BN2 without safety gage?My friend needs to drive his 
BN2 to my house without his gages installed. I could tell him to use a bolt for 
the radiator, but I don't know what size to tell him, I thought it might be non 
standard. Would someone tell me, thanks.For the oil, he remove the hose from 
the block and replace with a upside down screw head and a nut like the steering 
box olive nut.Ken Freese65 BJ8
