Hey guys sorry abou the late responce ive been up the coast...

I think you guys need to decide on a southside meet point and make it final, as fair as i can see it there is quite allot of confussion as to when and where...

I was advised weeks ago it would be Maccas and that why its in the first post...

If you dont want to meet at maccas then come straight to Aspley. All cars are to come to aspley as i need you all there for the video and photo shoots...

as far as i know its springwood maccas isnt it last?

They were thinking about changing it to Springwood Crazy Clarks, but I'm not too sure what the go is. Does anyone know rouhgly how many people are going to be meeting at Springwood? 10ish? 20ish?

I hate the driveways at Springwood Maccas, I have to go out the one near Crazy Clarks because my kit will scrape :(

But umm.. I'm not too worried where we meet I'm guessing either spot would be fine shops open around 8am though don't they? If thats the case, the carpark near Crazy Clarks may not have enough room for all of us meeting there, Maccas has heaps of Carparks there always room to park.

There is certainlly a meet at Springwood maccas... I know of a number of cars going to this location already...

But feel free to have other meet points... Just what ever you do, make sure your at aspley around 9:15 - 9:30am...

We are first timers too and will be in WHOOOO HOOOOO!

We will be there from the Gold Coast. Anyone want to arrange a meeting point from here. We are southern end so send us a PM and we can sort something out! :(

Can you me down for about 6 snags and 6 drinks.

Arhhh it says count me down... :(

Ill sink at least 2-3 myself... Bunta and Impact_Blue have orginised some special snags for tomorrow...

Maby they might be kind enough to share more information on the snags, but ive been told their special...

Awsome guys...

We have heaps of snags and drinks... If we run out for any reason we have a back up plan in place already... So dont fear, we will have more than enough food...

Tomorrow Revhead (Marc) & Mrbenno (Ben) will be starting the raffle for the freebies donated by our sponcers... So keep an extra couple of bucks for a ticket to win some awsome prizes...

Also remember we will be cruising back to the starting location via a really nice road before dispursing to return home and talking up the event online... So dont leave early, we will probably return to Aspley at around 3-3:30...

Now is also the time to remind everyone of the 3 simple rules...

1. NO SKIDS

2. NO SPEEDING

3. NO TAIL GATING

Please be wise in your driving manner, the cruise is for enjoyment for all not just yourself. So please drive with your happy hat on, in previous years there have been accidents and close calls due to clowning around.

We will be stopping along the way for a catch up point, we will be stopped here for at least 10-15 minutes so this is a great opertunity to get a photo...

I will be filming and taking pictures for the whole event as all the material will be submitted to Ignition DVD for possible publication in their Feb edition of the dvd mag... Its not 100% as they want to see the wuality of your material first, but they said they should be able to make something out of it...

We will also be submitting the event to HPI mag so please be on your best behaviour and help me help you...

Apart from this the north and south meet points have been posted on the first post, we will all be looking forward to seeing you bright and early tomorrow...

BTW... SMR33 showed us the sticker this morning and it looks AWSOME... She has about 160 something to sell and their worth every cent of $5, they are very professional and are laser cut...

Dont forget a hat, sunscreen and a fold up chair... Bring you footy/soccer ball and your UHF radio... :laugh:

    • 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.
