I can't stand Wiseman's. I don't like driving on a road with no lane markings, and its as choppy as all hell.

I only encountered one HWP on Pac yesterday, but that was when me and a few other sports cars were parked on the side of the road so I'm sure we were conspicuous. It was just after lunch time on a weekday though.

If only......

The locals would bitch and moan if you did that, even if you cut them in on the fee. They were probably the biggest force behind getting Race to the Pie cancelled, even though there's no houses on that hillclimb between Mooney and Pie in the Sky.

DARN LOCALS! *shakes fist*

Yeah but they are starting to resurface wisemans according to the local council ;) Il believe it when I see it!

Yeah old pac during weekdays (well Mon - Wed @ least) is usually quiet... except in holiday times! There are only 2 HWP on duty Sunday & monday nights and not much more during the day - thats Gosford to Hawkesbury anyways..... Hornsby side can be a bit worse...

great idea, il sign a petition for an event or regular course but good luck with legal aspects.. know of any commercial or residential requirements up there ?

doubt both being a reservation but it happens.

would require allowance for the lowest common denominator aka ambo etc.. but sounds like an awsome idea that would never be allowed. but make the price $5 for a run.. its not that long !

      Nah. You need 2x taps for anything that you cannot pass the tap all the way through. And even then, there's a point in response to the above which I will come back to. The 2x taps are 1x tapered for starting, and 1x plug tap for working to the bottom of blind holes. That block's port is effectively a blind hole from the perspective of the tap. The tapered tap/tapered thread response. You don't ever leave a female hole tapered. They are supposed to be parallel, hence the wide section of a tapered tap being parallel, the existince of plug taps, etc. The male is tapered so that it will eventually get too fat for the female thread, and yes, there is some risk if the tapped length of the female hole doesn't offer enough threads, that it will not lock up very nicely. But you can always buzz off the extra length on the male thread, and the tape is very good at adding bulk to the joint.

      Neg, the top one is actually for the front. The sizes are 18x10.5 +18 and 18x11 +32.   I measured many times but I'm sure I'll have problems as this is the thread for problems.

      Just one thing; tapping tapered threads is tricky. Taps are always tapered and you would generally run it as far as you can, but with a tapered thread you have to stop much sooner otherwise the wide part of the taper will run in too far and you will have to thread the sensor in too far too as well (possible that it will never make a good seal) BTW nice wide wheels, I guess the top one is for the back!

      Welp, good to know. Will have to wait awhile until steady hands with drills and taps are available. In other news, these just arrived! I will weigh them for posterity. Edit: 11kg each (or 10.9/11.1 depending on what my scale decides over multiple tests, the 18x11 don't seem to weigh noticeably any more than 10.5)
