Shepparton is booked pretty much booked out for this weekend.

I have a few things reserved under my name - but in the next couple of days, even those will be taken off me unless someone puts their hand up and says they want them.

If you are wanting to stay for the weekend - PM OR EMAIL ME ASAP with your phone number and Ill call you and give you some details.

If you dont act quickly, there is a very high chance youll miss out - please get in touch with me as soon as you can.

Cheers :blink:

UPDATE - have secured 5 more rooms :rant:

They dont like holding them for me though as its so busy up there that weekend.

Please guys - I cant stress enough - If you need a room, contact me ASAFP - If i dont get names next to these rooms, the hotels will take them back :D

no licence cant make it, was wanting to do it otherwise

Just get someone to drive it up for you and you can thrash it around on the track. That's what I did when I lost mine.

gareth, i'm 99% down for this so will need a fire extinguisher. What do you think of these? i haven't done any research but i thought they'd be a lot more pricey than $10

anyone else who's got/knows about fire extinguishers think much of the ebay link?

They are from Supercheap Auto, I use the same ones in my cars. Normally priced around $25-30.

so $10 is a bargain then!

i've just net bank'd the $75, and just going to fill out the pdf, take some pics and email it to the motorsport address. Hope that's ok, don't have access to a fax at the moment

    • 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.
