Listers,
What is the size of the original Bugeye steering wheel
14 or 15 inch?

I want to install an oil pressure operated cutoff
switch for my electric fuel pump. What is the size and
thread for the oil pressure outlet bung on a 1275? (I
would like to install a 'T' fitting)

I'm interested in drilling the fuel pump pad for
pressure relief. The block has just been machined and
is still bare. Is this a process better left to the
machine shop or something I could drill and tap
myself? 
After the block is tapped can a fitting be screwed
straight into the block? (localized stress is not an
issue?) At the last couple of car shows I've noticed
various attachments to the fuel pump  pad and then
these "attachments" are drilled for the outlet. I
assume these are factory drilled fuel pump pads that are being
adapted, comments? 

Nice to see Gerard and Glen Byrns at Palo Alto last
week! Enjoyed what I saw of the show. Working
afternoons on Sunday cut into my festivities. 200
miles from my house to the show, to work, to home in
my 76MGB. It didn't miss a stroke, a great ride! 
(Gerard I took about digital 20 or 30 photos but as in Tahoe
none are of complete cars. Just close ups of carbs,
wiring runs, front tilt hinges, interiors,
radiators,fans and the like. Not much for general
interest stuff but if your interested....)

Thanks in advance for any info
