WOOT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :D

WOOT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :D

Im in!!!!!

This place is the bomb!!!! $10 steak, choose you cut and cook yourself! Plus copious amounts of beer, and all within 2 mins of my place!!!

All said, everytime it is here, we get a huge turnout, normally 10+, i think a few months ago it was about 20+

yeah i think we need to start looking at some different places. the whole thing of the monthly dinners was we used to try lots of different establishments in different areas.

You just dont want to be hit up for beers! :D

Yeah, i think at this dinner, the people who attend should pick next months destination, and keep using that rule from now on. But to avoid having another turnout like last month i thought here would be ok

meh. the dinners have gone down hill a bit sadly maybe that's why i'm being a weener and moaning.

12 months or more ago and the dinners were great. always a good turnout. we had lots of people suggesting good places. always a few beers. most of the old crew have stopped going and now not many people show up.

still i will probably come. i'll do like most people do these days and say that i'm coming, but reserve the right to not show at the last minute :D :D

haha, i am a bitching old prick.

Yeah I agree :D

The whole "lets try different places" thing has gone down the drain. I could have sworn that we were at Great Northern not 2-3 months ago. Everytime we can't decide where to go, we always seem to just revert back to Great Northern or Orchid Thai. WHERE'S THE SENSE OF ADVENTURE??? They're both great venues, but I would prefer to try somewhere new each month.

Having said that, none of us have gotten up off our asses to organise anything different, so props to Steve for keeping this monthly dinner tradition alive :D

Yeah i agree with everyone... variety would be great but it has done a little down hill lately with attendance.....

These regular places, as already seen, always gets the #'s together..... :D

As for Joy's well i do believe she offered herself for a seafood buffet..................... :D

The reason a few of us have gone a little off the monthly dinners is the number of people that regularly say they are "in" but never show up. Anyone that doesnt intend to come along, shouldnt post in the thread.

And echoing Merli's post, good work to you Steve for starting the thread :D

As a side idea, we havent done Mexican or Teppanyaki for a while :D

    • 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.
