lol, don't worry, beer baron has something for everyone! It means I can take the jack and stands now. Of course anyone is free to use them as needed.

I might have a passenger for you if ok, As we will be taking a little car and have 4 in with us and for 7 hours could get a bit cramped

Oh what :P not crashing with us....

That would be cool.

I'll be travel pretty light so I expect I'll have room for gear I'm light in the tool department (I'm an optimist).

Sounds like a couple of us are coming from the north shore - I'm in Cammeray right off the freeway and not far off of Military Road - happy to use that as a meeting point.

Haha I dont mean it like that hun.. It might be a little squishy.. I dunno if i could put up with Shawn all the way there.. hahaha..

I will cb whore to you in the car :P so we will always be close.. :(

Ok, so ive sent Tim the bank details, and Jess you said you sent them to SAM916?

Is that right?

Yes, every driver will need an L2S, they're easy to get and last a year (they're also the same ones we use for our trackdays etc so dont throw it away) :P

Meet point will be in Beverly Hills as there is a huge carpark right next to the motorway entrance so its easy to meet, and there is a shop there to buy drinks/junk food/porn for the drive down. Ill post the exact details and a pic of the point closer to the date

Ill get onto netbank right now and confirm payments (sorry guys ive been pretty busy lately - whats new....)

Oh and one other thing thats pretty important that everyone should know...............ALWAYS give Smoky a huge :) when he's driving on the skidpan ;)

Ok.............so only one person used the ID box.........that was evilweevil - can anyone still waiting for confirmation please PM me what you wrote on the trasfer so i know who's money is who's?

Cheers

forgot this link...

:)

yeah, that was not a good effort. and it's quite strange as lots of the guys who hang out on oxford street have told me that ordinarily steve loves to swallow the worm. i'm not quite sure what they meant buy that. weird.

    • 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.
