L-5 Maintenance Forum- oil pressure

[Steve Seal]

I’ve had at least three oil pressure gages.  Any lead on who might have another, mine is now quivering, and then sticks when the engine is shut down.  raping on the gage face will usually unstick it, but it will get worse.

Steve,

Check with John Seidts for the oil pressure gauge. I picked up one from him last year.

Do you have his (John Seidts) email/phone # etc.  I’m not sure I have his info?  Unless my mind can’t remember him doing something for me 2-4 years ago?

Steve,   Send your old ones in for rebuild. There is one style which cannot be repaired, but most can be.   Look up an instrument shop and call them. ST

I talk to John several times per week. 443-250-9037 mobile, 410-357-0185 home. His website hasn’t been updated in a long time so do not use his old Essex mailing address. Use 20540 Green Rd, White Hall, MD 21161-9075 instead.

Also, another email address that he uses is sentinelpilot@yahoo.com. That is the one to use if there are any attachments such as photos and it is what his L-5 club membership is tied to.

(p.s. it’s an oil pressure gauge, not gage. :>)
