maximumrpm has every right to be panic, im trying to ease it.

I am saying its not worth for OSCAR32 to rip some1 off for such little amount. (checked his profile, not some noob just joined).

with postage it came to $110...no ones going to give you that money for free mate...and like others have said, he could rip others for larger amounts in the future

What parts did you buy off him? And you're saying he's been ignoring you since?

He hasnt been active since the 15th of this month, Im still awaiting a reply to my question.

Sometimes people are delayed ligitimately.

Sometimes they are not.

I am on this case for you.

This happened once before but there was a legitimate reason in the end.

Also, from what I and a few other people know of him, he is a pretty decent bloke.

Ok this situation is now sorted.

I rang Oscar as to my knowledge he is a very decent bloke and wouldn't try to rip anyone off.

He has assured me that there is a legitimate reason for all of this which he can tell you all if he likes.

You will have your parts in the next couple of days or a refund if you so desire.

Sending you a pm now.

For the record, Abo Bob didn't do anything as such (no pressure, just information swapping) I do appreciate getting a call before being bagged out these forums. MY LAPTOP WAS STOLEN - along with a lot of other stuff, IM WAITING ON INSURANCE.

I have NOT been here, although my account is saved on this and another couple of computers right now - possibly this is why you think I've been here.

So, maximum - thanks for the call - you had my number and chose not to use it. I give it to anyone who buys from me.

I'm a payed up member, have been to heaps of events and am NOT into riping anyone off. Why shit where you sleep huh? The freight for those parts were huge compared to what I thought (like over triple - $120) (as I wrapped them very well - per your request - in custom poly). The quote and the cost were different BECAUSE OF THE WRAPPING - ended up being mesured in size - not weight.

So, to save YOU money I got a mate to drive them to Sydney and drop them at a courier - to keep your price down. I know it was delayed - however my last few weeks have NOT been a lot of fun. My brother was killed in November, and I'm dealing with a lot of family issues right now on top. Thats no excuse, but your parts were on their way.

I can stop them today - and will be, and refund your cash. Given the way I was treated by you (public bagging straight up) I'd rather refund your money as these parts were VERY cheap - and sell them to someone else. I WAS TRYING TO SAVE YOU MONEY MAXIMUM!

A simple call or message and you would have known. I didn't have your number - and still don't.

So, please given me your account details for your refund. I'm no longer interested in dealing with you given your tatics. Thats it - no discussion. Its easy to bag people on the net, at home on your couch.

Cheer to those who know me and know I'm not some cheap ass scammer.

cheers mate your a legend...hope to receive the parts this week

Refund as soon as I get some bank details - no parts buddy. I will insure I check the net each day for them. Thanks Abo Bob for bringing this to my attention.

    • How do you propose I cable tie this: To something securely? Is it really just a case of finding a couple of holes and ziptying it there so it never goes flying or starts dangling around, more or less? Then run a 1/8 BSP Female to [hose adapter of choice?/AN?] and then the opposing fitting at the bush-into-oil-block end? being the hose-into-realistically likely a 1/8 BSPT male) Is this going to provide any real benefit over using a stainless/steel 1/4 to 1/8 BSPT reducing bush? I am making the assumption the OEM sender is BSPT not BSPP/BSP
    • I fashioned a ramp out of a couple of pieces of 140x35 lumber, to get the bumper up slightly, and then one of these is what I use
    • I wouldn't worry about dissimilar metal corrosion, should you just buy/make a steel replacement. There will be thread tape and sealant compound between the metals. The few little spots where they touch each other will be deep inside the joint, unable to get wet. And the alloy block is much much larger than a small steel fitting, so there is plenty of "sacrificial" capacity there. Any bush you put in there will be dissimilar anyway. Either steel or brass. Maybe stainless. All of them are different to the other parts in the chain. But what I said above still applies.
    • You are all good then, I didn't realise the port was in a part you can (have!) remove. Just pull the broken part out, clean it and the threads should be fine. Yes, the whole point about remote mounting is it takes almost all of the vibration out via the flexible hose. You just need a convenient chassis point and a cable tie or 3.
    • ..this is the current state of that port. I appreciate the info help (and the link to the Earls thing @Duncan). Though going by that it seems like 1/4 then BSP'ing it and using a bush may work. I don't know where I'd be remote mounting the pressure sender... to... exactly. I assume the idea here is that any vibration is taken up by the semiflexible/flexible hose itself instead of it leveraging against the block directly. I want to believe a stronger, steel bush/adapter would work, but I don't know if that is engineeringly sound or just wishful thinking given the stupendous implications of a leak/failure in this spot. What are the real world risks of dissimilar metals here? It's a 6061 Aluminum block, and I'm talking brass or steel or SS adapters/things.
