well hello there children, nice to see you all having fun without me!

Firstly, nice car mate, go beat some skylines in it lol

secondly a question to everybody:

Q: What has four doors, a six cyl motor, and a lazy slush box?

A: Commodore taxi, or, Falcon taxi, or even the slightly less common, Magna Taxi (380's included)

are we seeing a theme here?

Andrews just upset because he got the shopping trolley (or socccer mum, depending on your take) version of a sports car, as opposed to the sports version of a shopping trolley lol :sick:

and jugz, you still have that lancer, therefore, comments still not valid.

hmmmmm lancer or frangapani car, lancer or frangapani hmmmmm u bought a fiesta ur comment is more invalid than owners of champange 180's ! especially after hmmm lets seee 6 tow trucks and 90% of ur ownership time with the cars sitting in the drive way not being driven u would think u would get a hint at mayb ur doing something wrong and when ur peers go glenn dont buy it mayb just mayb that would be a hint to not do something, just a thought thats all......

    • 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 BSP male) Is this going to provide any real benefit over using a stainless/steel 1/4 to 1/8 BSP reducing bush?
    • 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.
