Seems they are still available
212023 Meter Plug for Oil Pipe to Cylinder Head Series 1 1948 - 58.
Me again:
Wee tiny plug (restrictor) up inside the banjo bolt to/at the head. Am pretty sure it wasn't there when disassembled. because everything that came off went into same box immediately. However, being so small and not aware that it would be there?????????
Went looking for it and couldn't find in banjo bolt or big box. Probably been gone for years and years, Dunno!
Is it essential? Am aware turbos have restricted oil flows in, too much not good. No restrictor would supply excessive??? oil to inlet rocker shaft/valve guides perhaps, and/or drainage unable to cope????
Advice required
Cheers

They are a press in fit so would not have fallen out . I think that it needs to be there to restrict the amount of oil flow to the overhead rockers , if there is too much oil in the top end it will go down the valve guides, it could also help with the oil pressure & flow to the bottom end. . If you buy a new banjo bolt it dose not come with the restrictor . I sent an old bolt I had to a guy a couple of weeks ago so he could get the restrictor out for the new bolt he had bought for his engine that was missing the oil feed pipe & banjo bolts
Thanks guys
Could anyone supply me with the diameter of the restrictor's hole. Have brass, have lathe and if needed have no. drills.

Moderator, this needs to be filed somewhere for "easy" reference.
Orifice diameter is 1/16 inch, restrictor plug dia is inside dia of banjo bolt (push fit) and about 1/4" long
