Seems Mark had car problems....there were people working around the back of the car...though in the final minutes they seemed to think Webber was happy to sit out the session...Quali will be so interesting...wet and Renault look strong and so close amongst Webber, Vettel, Alonso, Massa, Hamilton and Kubz....lets hope Webber can get teh job done in the wet and Kubisa and Massa are in teh mix with Vettel and Alonso.

How good was that? Would so love to see Williams win a GP, but being a dry race think he will be aiming for a podium. Hopefully Webber can do a Hamilton from the second row and by the end of the first lap its Webber 1 and Hamo 2 with the Germans bashing into each other seeing who is the superior specimen of the superior race :devil:

The tyre gamble really paid off for Williams. It's not like they're in the running for either title, so why not have a crack. Better than yet another RBR whitewash.

Any one who put down a random lobster or pineapple with a sportsbetting agency on -that- Q3 outcome is laughing their arse off right now.

Button is being humbled by Hamilton.

Button is looking more like the McLaren version of Massa.

The Williams apparently looked good in P3 but would you have guessed that Hulkenberg would out qualify Ruben in Brazil unless you were an optimistic family member?

Teh, Button is making himself look pretty ordinary. How many times this year has he missed Q3? Also, he is at sea when it comes to car setup and getting it to work. Makes you think last year that if a more versatile driver was in his seat, whether there would have been far more podiums in the back half of the season. My money is on Rosberg woudl have made him look average as well.

But, the Hulk has made it pretty clear from Monza and a few other moments this year that he is a competitive little bugger so expect there to be all sorts of chaos in th efirst few laps. Hamo will be right in there with nothing to lose....Webber and Vettel tip toeing around not trying to lose wings etc...Hamo and Nico can afford to take the piss a little....so should be an entertaining race...shame about feeling shit on Monday because of no sleep

Must say, I think we all witnessed a very special moment from this season with the Incredible Hulk's pole... I would've bet my house on Rubens out qualifying the mini-kraut. But hey, strange things happen in this wonderful sport, and what a way to throw the championship contest in the air?? Koob, Rubens, all in the mix.. Btw I think Baron Von Doorcloser is finding his feet finally, anyone take notice of how quick he was in marginal conditions on the inters? Good to see him a few position ahead of Rosberg (for his sake, cause I'm a Nico fan too). In all fairness to Nicros, I think he got baulked, but its been a promising last few showings by MSC, lets hope he can bag some points..

I think Gonzo was lucky to get P5, but I get the feeling tonight's race is not going to be at all usual, BRING IT! Just hope the chin can get a solid podium if not a win..

Btw, my cousin's mate put $15 on a Williams pole, the cnut would be laughing right now....

I agree on the Button thing, he's looking more and more ordinary with every race, here was me thinking in the middle of the season he was right in the mix, I really can't believe how much, and how quickly, he has fallen away. He just doesn't seem at one with the car, and if I was him I'd be a little concerned. Not a good look for Jenson.

    • Nah. You need 2x taps for anything that you cannot pass the tap all the way through. And even then, there's a point in response to the above which I will come back to. The 2x taps are 1x tapered for starting, and 1x plug tap for working to the bottom of blind holes. That block's port is effectively a blind hole from the perspective of the tap. The tapered tap/tapered thread response. You don't ever leave a female hole tapered. They are supposed to be parallel, hence the wide section of a tapered tap being parallel, the existince of plug taps, etc. The male is tapered so that it will eventually get too fat for the female thread, and yes, there is some risk if the tapped length of the female hole doesn't offer enough threads, that it will not lock up very nicely. But you can always buzz off the extra length on the male thread, and the tape is very good at adding bulk to the joint.
    • Nice....looking forward to that update
    • Neg, the top one is actually for the front. The sizes are 18x10.5 +18 and 18x11 +32.   I measured many times but I'm sure I'll have problems as this is the thread for problems.
    • Just one thing; tapping tapered threads is tricky. Taps are always tapered and you would generally run it as far as you can, but with a tapered thread you have to stop much sooner otherwise the wide part of the taper will run in too far and you will have to thread the sensor in too far too as well (possible that it will never make a good seal) BTW nice wide wheels, I guess the top one is for the back!
    • Welp, good to know. Will have to wait awhile until steady hands with drills and taps are available. In other news, these just arrived! I will weigh them for posterity. Edit: 11kg each (or 10.9/11.1 depending on what my scale decides over multiple tests, the 18x11 don't seem to weigh noticeably any more than 10.5)
