Hi everyone,

Thinking of install the an air fuel meter in the mini permanently. What is the best one people have used ?

I know some say it's a waste of time once tuned but it'll be nice to know what the mixture is doing all the time.

Also, where is the best place to put the bung on the extractors? At the bottom of the Y piece piece, or centre pipe ?

Cheers
James

that one sounds good - a single unit - I have an LC-2 which has a gauge and a unit the sensor plugs into...

you want it as close to the engine as possible, but in the flow of all 3 ports, so best place is in the collector where the branches join for the Y

I have had the MTX-L for a few years, no problems. Its a good unit, 1310/71 has one too.
You could put the sensor in the centre branch of the LCB, less hassle to remove when pulling the exhaust out.
I think that's where MPI Rovers have it.
