The SAU URL should be on all merchandise. For example, on the back of the crew shirts and jackets.

Good point, Charlie. We might have to consider "upgrading" the current merchandise to accomodate this too.

Has anyone mentioned those huge ass umbrellas? with maybe a SAU logo and stuff on it?
yeah umbrellas would be cool for a wet day at wakefield

Another one to chase up.

*adds to list...

Mona, not sure what we can do about SAU gearknobs, but will look into that as well...

* car seat covers (either slim or baggy fit, depending what u like)

* shirts/jackets for the chickies

* water bottles (those pop top type ones)

oh and the number plate surrounds (go you Brett!) and sun visors are GREAT ideas!

Yup Id be keen on car seat covers, and pit shirts with maybe some more crap printed on it, like the SAU Vic ones

okies! twas just a thought :laugh:
Here's a concept image I knocked up for SAU VIC a year or so ago...

based on the R34 GTR knob. Which looks awesome and feels great to use.

Kinda what was in my head, Shan - replacing the GT-R logo with the SAU one! Good work! I would actually prefer this to the Nismo leather one in my car.

How does that look, everyone?

Now, where to find the gearknobs?

    • 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.
