Where can I find the ‘Reverse Lamp Switch’ on the 12 HP Tourer?
.
.
This switch is shown in the wiring diagram of the 12 HP, but it is not connected on my 1948 Tourer.
I would like to retrofit it.
Regards
Thomas

Re: Fuel system for P2 Tourer
It seems to be a low pressure sucking pump. If so, it is mounted at the wrong place. It should be mounted in the engine bay. More or less at carburetor height. And 30 c"m above the exhaust is a hot place. OK, that's your opinion. I see it a little differently. Let's wait and see how the pump behave...

Re: Fuel system for P2 Tourer
I can see the exhaust pipe just under the pump, heating it up. Not a good position to choose, both from safety and fuel temp considerations. Also, just specifying "Hardy" is not enough. High pressure? Low pressure? either are not the correct one by position/pressure. Finally, rubber pipes are bette...

Re: Fuel system for P2 Tourer
That is now my solution:

new electric hardi pump under the rear seats with filter from tank to pump and extra pump fuse for 12 volt

Re: Fuel system for P2 Tourer
I would now want to disconnect the mechanical AC pump and disconnect the copper pipes at A and B. I would then connect A and B on the pump side with a hose. Then a pipe separation at C and a new hose from filter D to connection C, which leads to the carburettor. . AC Pump modifications with A B C D....

Re: Fuel system for P2 Tourer
For what it’s worth! Both my 1947/8 tourers (technically export, but UK supplied)have bulkhead SU pumps. One was inside the car(!) but I preferred to take the risk of vapourising fuel to having a potential leak under the dash! I have the heat shield in place with a bit of insulation added & have ha...

Re: Fuel system for P2 Tourer
Dear Thomas This is just drawn from my own experiences but hopefully something in it may be of use to you... ... Out of interest, I thought the 47 cars had an electric pump fitted rather than a mechanical one. I have a 47 12 exported to Jersey and it is so equipped. I wonder if that means your car ...

Fuel system for P2 Tourer
In addition to my P4 - 75 from 1958, I now also own a P2 Tourer from 1948 . The previous owner had an electric petrol pump from SU (type AZX1331) installed in series with the mechanical pump from AC. See sketch https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/53962974161_c87bbf240e_z.jpg The electric pump should...

There are probably only two P2 Tourers in Germany, my JPO 848, which I bought from John Parker a few weeks ago, and Manfred's vehicle with the original licence plate ESR 674 - no. 094. Manfred died last year and Renate, his wife, would now like to sell this Tourer. Here is her advert: Rare Rover 12 ...

Re: Technical data for Twelve P2 Tourer
You may already know it, but I wrote a detailed journal of my tourer restoration, with comprehensive technical data and references: https://lulis.org/2019/09/14/restoration-of-rover-12-tourer/ Many thanks for these special links. I have already looked up one or two details there, e.g. the headlight...
