Get off the interwebz and start enjoying Europe mang!!

not for another week yet. where i am at the moment the interwebz is the only thing that keeps me sane.

Bugger i was gonna get it then i kept reading. Rob if you like i can give u a hand with your head. So what does everyone reckon for a cruise on sunday? Drive then lunch?

still got heaps of other things you may want. thanks,will let ya know when it happens next year.

i am keen as to go for a decent cruise now there are few more members getting around.

So here's a stupid Nissan engineering fault. When your brake light switch (off of the pedal) fails, it turns your damn brake lights on!

Nice suprise finishing work and having a completely flat battery down to 0.3A :rant:

haha yeah phil i had similar problem the set-up on the sil's have a rubber bung to hold the switch in the off position and being an old car it was f**ked n fell out :( put a nut n bolt in the hole all good :P

Nice

This is why I like your car and dont want you to part it out. Photos of rear?

Don't actually have a full rear shot. Will have to ask if he has one.

Hahaha. I checked my lights two times during the day thinking why the hell they looked like they were on. But there was no sign of any of the lights being on so I put it down to the sun being in a perfect spot to make them look lit up. Then at around 1pm they were off so I thought the sun wasn't in that perfect spot anymore - But it was because the battery was completely dead lol.

    • 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.
