Hey guys,

Sorry about the delay, but I just got the times from Morwell, so I have updated the Club Championships.

If you have any queries/problems with the results, let me know.

Cheers,

File attached.

The download section may still be having issues, so if you cannot open the attached file, post in here or PM me and email address and I will send you the Excel file.

Sorry for any inconvenience.

Yeah Dane it was - if there are less than 3 people comepting in your class at an event, the max score you can get is 6.

Where there are 3 or more people, the maximum points you are able to get is 10.

So as you were the only one in Class C at Morwell, you get 6 points.

Bec,

You have only included 7 rounds on the spreadsheet with round 7 being the last round (round 8) of the WRX at Calder in October and missing the Sandown round in August.

Is this a typo or is that how the SAU c /ships are to be run?

Depends on how rich you are feeling. If you are feeling rich pay $200 and do Sandown. If your not feeling so rich pay about $100 and do Calder.

Personally I'm doing PI the weekend before so I'll be poor (and consequently doing Calder)

Does driver training count towards the championship? I just noticed Nick had points for Sandown and i think he was doing DT. If DT counts I might do a couple rounds and see if i can learn to drive.

yep I didn't even think we were going to get times but we did... DT was fine just a slower group and you had one of the club guys in the car with you... they told me to go out solo in the last session... scored my fastest lap on my last lap of the day :ermm:

    • Yup. You can get creative and make a sort of "bracket" with cable ties. Put 2 around the sender with a third passing underneath them strapped down against the sender. Then that third one is able to be passed through some hole at right angles to the orientation of the sender. Or some variation on the theme. Yes.... ummm, with caveats? I mean, the sender is BSP and you would likely have AN stuff on the hose, so yes, there would be the adapter you mention. But the block end will either be 1/8 NPT if that thread is still OK in there, or you can drill and tap it out to 1/4 BSP or NPT and use appropriate adapter there. As it stands, your mention of 1/8 BSPT male seems... wrong for the 1/8 NPT female it has to go into. The hose will be better, because even with the bush, the mass of the sender will be "hanging" off a hard threaded connection and will add some stress/strain to that. It might fail in the future. The hose eliminates almost all such risk - but adds in several more threaded connections to leak from! It really should be tapered, but it looks very long in that photo with no taper visible. If you have it in hand you should be able to see if it tapered or not. There technically is no possibility of a mechanical seal with a parallel male in a parallel female, so it is hard to believe that it is parallel male, but weirder things have happened. Maybe it's meant to seat on some surface when screwed in on the original installation? Anyway, at that thread size, parallel in parallel, with tape and goop, will seal just fine.
    • 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.
