The training and the job changes you in a big way, yes. It makes you more confident, more assertive and definitely less tolerant. But you gotta learn to turn that on and off, if someone's a reasonable person, I'll play nice. If they're not I won't.

The people looking at you thing you get used to pretty quickly. I always just look back...

I was born a suspicious person, I was like that well before the cops, and I'm extremely good at reading someone, even if they're an excellent liar, if there's something that just doesn't ad up, I won't let up until I'm satisfied. Some people can keep an absolute straight face and be extremely convincing on face value (lulz pun); but when you delve deeper, you begin to look past their bullshit and see right through them.

to be an effective liar you have to have a DAMN good memory.

Damn, well im screwed then..

Seriously you must be a fan of 'lie to me' and with those skills angling for the D's one day or happy as a pig in mud in the HWP?

(oh crap i just realised the unfortunate pun there, unintentional but not tactful enough to think of another one)

Recruit training in the army certainly sloughed away a few of my bad habits and that was after only a month of it, im not surprised that after nearly six months of intense behaviour modification you come out a different person. Sounds like mostly for the better though and once your on the job your personality would re assert itself eventually I imagine.

anymore odd traffic stops lately?

I noticed on the odd times i saw them on 'the force' or 'motorway/highway patrol' programmes (the only reality tv i can handle) that it was often the young P platers in a group that would have an attitude when pulled over and throw out a few choice lines, always to their own detriment. I cant understand how people dont realise how much in their at your mercy..no sympathy when they get 5 or 6 different charges thrown at them when a polite demeanor would have resulted in only one or possibly a warning.

I'd say theres 10 filmed for every 1 shown, but yeah, it beggars belief how people get narky. If you truly believe you weren't in the wrong, explain yourself calmly and politely, but if you know you were in the wrong, agree, and cop it sweet (been there done that, it just works out the best in the end)

Damn, well im screwed then..

Patrick,

Just play texas holdem at vegas for 2 months, or manila poker with a bunch of us chinese for 1 month and then you'll be right unless upon questionning, you look up and to the left = lie

aargh, obvious grammar typo and i cant go back and edit once someones posted after me. ohhh the shame, the shame.

anyway totally agree CPD, and would love to see the uncut force stuff they didnt show probably be something like that decades old doco they did in redfern with the cops. forget the name but they all got transferred to the boonies afterwards for carrying on about coons etc

oh and Terry, whats the buy in? ifs its under 20 bucks and i dont need to be fluent in cantonese or mandarin im in!

:cheers:

    • 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.
    • ..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.
