Nomination for VP accepted.

I also urge anyone out there who thinks they might make a valuable committee member - post your interest in whichever position you think you might be useful in. If you dont want to post here, feel free to email your interest to [email protected]

I'm nominating Rossco for Treasurer coz I know he doesn't want to do it :blink:
I'd like to nominate Old Man Wayne for Pres. :)

And I second the nom for Rosco.

Thirding the nomination for Rossco and hoping that he might see the love and change his mind :D

Id like to nom ARC for Sponsorship.

He isnt on a lot, but i have a strong feeling he would suit the job :(

Guys - If your sitting there thinking you might, don't... get yourself on the list on the first page.

Its looking very small at this stage.

Also there is no Secretary nomination as yet, and its a pivotal role, as all Exec roles are

I nominate Chris (Scotsman) for Motorsport Director

I 2nd this.

Chris has done a great job over the past 12 months and really looked after us newbies.

that said I'm very impressed with the whole 08 motorsport committee.

hoping 09 just as good.

    • 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.
