yeah I can't believe webber would intentionally position his car hoping for an accident. that's just nuts and suicidal. I doubt there is a driver on the grid who would do that. well maybe schuey would...

I'm not saying what I think he was doing. I'm just saying what I saw. He holds it on full lock to go back across the track. why? I don't know, but saying he was trying to continue racing after slapping into a concrete wall by swerving back across the track into the path of other cars makes far less sence than Berger's theory.

besides, drivers think they are bulletproof. And I think Mark has enough mongrel in him to play a bit of dirty pool when the situation calls for it.

If you look at the reverse camera angle, as in the one pointing down the track behind the cars coming out of the corner that Webz spun at. You can see that after he had hit the wall, and was rolling back, his front right wheel was inches off the ground. Maybe he did, maybe he didn't, but I think that contact donald ducked his suspension.. If so, I am curious as to why he didn't put the skids on... :)

You can stay but expect a bit of residual Hamilton is a douche sentiment around here.

Being considered a douche is a big improvement on the consensus a couple of seasons ago.

Nah everyone still thinks he's a f**king flamin mongrel.

Berger is farken clown in this case who just hasn't had his name in the press for a week!

so like... a million times this?

It's one thing I've noticed about the bugger... once every 2 months or so, go against the grain to have forums like us talk his shit up...

bo-ring...

He's just said he doesn't get to dock with Vettel anymore.

He's like Columbo (but without the charm)- Just when you think he's gone, he comes back for an unsolicited encore

I'll open the champers if he gets the A at the end of this season, and yet he'll likely still be gridding up courtesy of a bottom-feeder team come 2011

Well, not long now until practice is underway...and there are reports of rain for quali. I really think the elements mean that RBR are less likely to get the win...ans also bad news for those hoping for an engine failure for Alonso. Only good think is Webz normally pips Vettel in wet quali so here is hoping

    • 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.
