I'll be working at the MotoGP at Phillip Island in first week of October.

Late November I'll be doing some track time at Mallala to see if my shoulder is 100% fit for racing next season, and to set up the bike a bit ... and blow off the cobwebs :D

Anytime between then would be great. :whistling:

A pub meal sounds great ... but lets avoid any high pricey places :)

BTW, I know the guys that run the Pits at Pt Elliot. I could see if we can get a group deal!

If anyone has a pitbike with motard tyres on it (like I do :D) then take that down too on the day and tear around the track on two wheels :whistling:

how is it the kart with the worst best lap time won the race? :domokun:

guess that average lap time was better :domokun: maybe someone was still going flat on the yellows.

you know its true you shady mofo :domokun:

you been smoking Dan :domokun: :domokun:

Shaun im with you buddy if you need to guy in front as an extra brake get off the track, its friken racing not smash'em up derby

errr that is a dodgy scan typo there Dan (don't ever use OCR fyi) - their best lap was a blistering fast 35.803!

lol scanner ftw i dont use OCR just jpg and paint shop it youll never know the difference,

dang my scanner isnt plugged in ah well there goes that joke but Andrew is correct 35.803 on lap 56 performed by Luke (not any of ours was a +1 on the night)

while my fastest lap was 36.86 executed on lap 67

but as craig said....

"rubbing is racing"

which i agree with.

there is nothing wrong with a bit of contact.

all in the name of "fun"

next time we could do a full grand prix of 12 drivers at a time.

i am pretty sure that you can run 2 grand prix's of 12 ppl in each gp simultaneously....

    • 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.
