i thought i better let everyone here know as i have posted in the mackay thread.

i am going to start getting prices for accomadation in airlie beach for the easter cruise, just after numbers so i can get a more accurate figure.

so far the plan is to go mackay on good friday and race at palmyra drags if its open, then head to airlie on satday check into hotel, go for a drive get pics then let shenanigans begin.

where i am looking at for accomadation http://www.marinashores-whitsundays.com/at_Marina_Shores_Home.html

prices off their site http://www.marinashores-whitsundays.com/check_availability_hotel6.asp?Region=360&Town=Airlie+Beach&hid=9178&numAdults=1&numChildren=0&numRooms=1&roomType=0&lid=1&toPage=all&item=3&tranHost=&tranURL=&selDayStart=7&selMonthStart=4&selYearStart=2012&selDayEnd=9&selMonthEnd=4&selYearEnd=2012

i hope we can get a decent discount for a large group but really $200-$300 for 2 nights is pretty goo in my books. i think it cost me & phil $160ea for the night.

if i get enough interest i will start a dedicated thread.

Just in case some of you havn't heard.

Autobarn is having it's grand relaunch opening tomorrow with 20% off store wide and a catalogue with some absolute bargains on special.

There is also a sausage sizzle, car show, promo girls (as if not come for that alone) and prizes up for grabs.

A lot of the audio reps from all the major brands will also be in store so if you want to talk to the guys with the best knowledge on their own gear now is a great opportunity to talk to the best in the know how.

    • 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)
