Its drivable at last, so I will be there also. :)

PS. How come this and other fixed events are not listed in the SAU Forum Calendar??

Ah...love it.

Haven't been rostered on a sunday for about a month....Get my roster for next week....BAM sunday for you dezz!

If the money wasn't so good i'd cancel the shift and still come

as above, what time will it go to?

I would have loved to enter, but didnt realise this was on the only day we organise a Stagea cruise lol. But i think our cruise is going to head on over to check out the show and shine.

Thanks Bec, yes I know its there, but not here:- SAU Calendar

just wondering why its not used as easier to access??

i know it states that cars must be entered around 10am....i might not be able to get their til around 11 is that ok or would that be too late to put my car in ??

also with the whole show and shine thing, as im not a member do i have to fill in any papers to put on my windscreen as no one can vote for me anyway

Only SAU VIC Members will be able to participate in having their car entered into the Show N Shine display.

Only members can be IN the show n shine...everyone else is there to look...

My understanding was that only members can park on the grass area set aside for the show n shine...everyone else parks wherever they can find it...but don't quote me on that one

That is correct - only cars who are entering the Show N Shine will be permitted to park at Birrarung Mar.

Anyone coming along to have a look will need to find parking somewhere and walk in.

You will be able to join as a member on the day, but to make things quicker, I would fill in a membership form and bring it along with you, as well, with correct money.

    • 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.
