i'll just meet you guys somewhere on the way, probably at around the bangor bypass around menai or something,,,, i'm too lazy to have driven down to menai the night b4 (as i always do), drive back out to livo, then back through the shire to the national park and back up to castle hill..... well lazy and the fact that i'm scrapeing the bottom of the barrel this next 6 or so months.....

*cries* no more goodies for my car for a while...

Was good seeing all the stove plates, we were in the last pack which ended up at the lighthouse.

Did the natio run on the way back, was good fun but didn't last too long.. Thinking about a wiseman's dash next week Saturday/ Sunday so if anyone is keen shoot of a pm and we can discuss.

G,day Anna34, Mark here, was wondering if you would like me to do up some route cards for the cruise, i could include halts along the way.

I can do this at work so if you want this done tell me what your after and i will make them magically appear.

Just need a couple of days prior notice with the routes so i can use and abuse the stores at work.

Hey all!

Looks like its going to be a good turn out =)

Can i suggest that if you have CB's and UHF's, bring them along so that we can keep in contact on the day. We'll decide on which channel on the day i guess. Mark will be leading the cruise =) Thanks heaps Mark!

See you all there on the day!!

Ill have some route cards ready and will brief before we step off, Lets have a nice cruise without any incidents or heat.

I will be sticking to the speed limit so everyone can stick together(i also like to keep my licence) and we will snake the whole way their.

Remember to watch out for the other people on the road as there will be probably be a bit of traffic and the road is mostly single lane once we get into Nasho.

Dont forget to fuel up prior.

      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.
