This was emailed out at work.. not sure how bad it is:

Please be advised that there are lengthy delays on the North Shore, Western & Northern Lines

CityRail advises that trains have been suspended on the North Shore Line between Gordon and Wynyard in both directions due to a train requiring mechanical repairs near Milsons Point. Lengthy delays can be expected. Flow on delays to Northern and Western Line services from the City will be experienced.

Bus companies are being contacted to operate a replacement service between Gordon and Wynyard until train services can resume. Sydney buses recognising rail tickets between Wynyard & North Sydney in both directions.

CityRail recommends travellers delay their journey or make alternative arrangements.

Police and emergency services are in attendance. At this stage there is no forecast of when the line can be reopened. Further information will be provided as it becomes available.

I can see all the commotion on the bridge from my desk. I can't make out the train but I can see all the fire trucks etc. looks like I'm going to be staying back tonight and having a few refreshments.

"looks" ok at the moment.

Remember it's school holidays and uni is on holidays too. So just the workers. But yea maybe traffic, sux to live up north!

doodz, no freaking way is that camera live. I'm looking out my window right now and being only about 500m from the bridge I can tell you it's chocka block with emergencey crews etc. the Cahill is even worse heading north (looks ok heading south).

Well that just sucks....working in north sydney and living on the central coast.

Being peak hour there will be a lot of people on the replacement buses.

I guess there is only one thing you can do in a situation like this....go to the pub until the problem is sorted!! If the problem aint sorted, then going home with a few beers in my belly will make the long journey a little easier!

      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

      Jacks that fit under GTR lips that can reach the subframe?

      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.

      ..this is the current state of that port. I appreciate the info help (and the link to the Earls thing @Duncan). Though going by that it seems like 1/4 then BSP'ing it and using a bush may work. I don't know where I'd be remote mounting the pressure sender... to... exactly. I assume the idea here is that any vibration is taken up by the semiflexible/flexible hose itself instead of it leveraging against the block directly. I want to believe a stronger, steel bush/adapter would work, but I don't know if that is engineeringly sound or just wishful thinking given the stupendous implications of a leak/failure in this spot. What are the real world risks of dissimilar metals here? It's a 6061 Aluminum block, and I'm talking brass or steel or SS adapters/things.
