It must be nice to have that kind of money...

Wash them yourself and save!

Don't like washing windows :blink: and I'm too short most of the time and don't feel safe on ladders (Mark might push me off for the GTR)

You dont want Shawn to do it naked trust me... To much glare :(

Hehehe Sorry Shawn.

I had this idea I could stand on the other side of the glass and watch everything wiggle like this --> :blink: as he washed.

How many hours do you expect it to take?

How many windows do you have?

How high are the windows?

Both inside and outside the windows?

Do you have your own equipment and stuff?

Where do you live?

:P

Wait.. How hard can it be to wash them?

Oh, please excuse my rudeness with this.. But why not get your SO to wash them?

If there isn't a Jim's Window Cleaning... there should be LOL I know there are people out there that do this professionally, but I thought someone here may have wanted to do it instead for some extra cash.

To answer some questions raised

I think it would take a few hours, but I've always broken it down in sections, so not certain exactly how long it would take to do at once. Thats why I thought an hourly rate would be fair.

They are big windows, almost all windows are the size of full sliding doors, probably 10 full size ground to ceiling type including sliding doors and another 6-7 normal size windows.

Only outside unless you're keen for inside too. I have my own equipment unless you prefer your own. I live Southside.

Its not hard... I work my @rse off all week and at my age, if I don't like doing it and someone else doesn't mind doing it... well then its a win win all round :domokun:

Who's got to be naked? The employer or the employee, this could affect the hourly rate!!!! And how many people would be [volunteer to be] in the window cleaning team vs the skimpy lingerie party being held indoors!!!

i would......come all the way from victoria to clean windows for $10 an hour, as long as there is a skimpy lingerie party going on indoors, and that i can come in for some after work "refreshments"

      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.

      And if you have to drill the oil block, then just drill it for 1/4" and tap it BSP and get a 1/8 to 1/4 BSP bush. The Nissan sender will go straight in and the bush will suit the newly tapped hole. And it will be real strong, to boot.

      No it doesn't. It just needs an ezy-out to pull that broken bit of alloy out of the hole and presto chango - it will be back to being a 1/8" hole tapped NPT. as per @MBS206 recco. That would be for making what you had in alloy, in steel. If you wanted to do just that instead of remote mounting like @Duncan and I have been pushing. A steel fitting would be unbreakable (compared to that tragically skinny little alloy adapter). But remote mounting would almost certainly be 10x better. Small engineering shops abound all over the place. A lathe and 10 minutes of time = 2x six packs.
