What happened? Nothing serious I hope.

Just a reminder that there will be a Show-N-Shine and a raffle with some pretty huge prizes which have been donated by the Club's sponsors.

There will be food and drinks available too so bring some money, get fed and give generously to our Charity, Men's Health.

no no nothing serious...just got to source a airleak in teh engine bay causing my car to stall everytime it gets to low revs and replace a tyre which got a punture on the side wall and the battery...by the time i am finshed replacing it all there goes my fuel money for the sunday. Im trying to get my mate to fix it all today...see how i go maybe he will let me pay him next week. who knows. but just in case it doesnt it is safe to have a lift organized lol.

*** BOOT SALE @ SCC ***

Hey Guys, I'm not sure if this has been mentioned on here yet...

Some folks have talked about bringing a few unwanted parts (new & used) along for a BOOT SALE.

It will be a good opportunity to clear the garage of unwanted stuff AND you may be able to donate some of the $$ to the charity (if you wish).

With Donations and Raffles ,Membership Discounts, Merchandise, etc. you may want to bring along a little extra cash.

who is meeting down at the hyperdome and cruising from there??? i live in rochedale sth so might pop down there and cruise up from there....

who's meeting there???

where abouts exactly and at what time????

someone plz let me know

Cheers

Matt

as a teaser I have a few pieces of car electronics up fro grabs via raffle. one of which may help you get to the final destination :banana:

want to know what these pieces are - attend the event :P

    • 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.
