Going by website they only go up to 9.5 like I have with the advans now though? 9.5 is preferable for me if only bc I can use the rubber I already have again. Unless u know where to get dirt cheap tyres too? Lol I might give him a call

cas, has vicroads given you a cheque yet? you're gettin all mohsen on us now. horse before cart n all that. give em a quote for the replacement of the wheel that was damaged only, and IF they pay you (which I doubt) then start looking for wheels. No point getting yourself pointlessly into more debt.

reason I ask shan is because I've looked everywhere to quote a replacement and can't find an 18" in any width for the life of me ergo I need new wheels as a necessity no matter who pays for them. I'm trying to get all the info I can get prior to speaking to vicroads so they can't catch me unawares and pull dodgy shit on me. Being informed is not being mohsen. I thought ud argue it's quite the opposite :P

lol jk mohsen

yeah but you have a better chance of a payout if you gave them a quote for one hypothetical wheel replacement rather than a higher quote for a full set of replacement wheels. I don't think Vicroads will care if you can get them or not.

Having dealt with insurance companies when putting together quotes for the workshop, it's not wise to overquote as they might go into full out deny deny deny mode.

Just sayin.

Trust me i wish i could quote them less than I'm having to do at this stage. Even if they have to only pay for one of the four I'm going to have to buy I'm at wits end here- how can I quote a price on a wheel I can't buy because nobody makes or has them anymore? I can't. But if I want any kind of assistance I need to be able to bring some figures to the table per se. For the record import monster just quoted me 1850 for four cr kais new. not bad comparitively with other wheels. I've emailed streeter this morning. Import monster also have said pretty much no effing way am I gonna find an advan anytime soon.

    • Possibly avoid using a Cometic one unless the deck/head surface are perfectly flat. I did have a look just then and forgiving gaskets such as Tomei or Nitto don't exist for the FJ20, however the Bar-Tek or Kameari ones look good and might do the trick.
    • Because pipe threads for pipe things. M threads for bolt things. Throw some teflon sealant onto it and dust your hands off knowing you did the right thing, instead of going twice around the block to achieve a result using the wrong things. Of course, all of these solutions are ignoring the fact that the minimum thread pitch we're talking about here is 1.25mm, with the 1/4" in NPT or BPS being out around 1.4mm. You will need to know that the boss you're tapping has enough thickness for at least a few threads. That's one of the reasons that 1/8" is commonly used - because the pitch is <1mm. And why would you look to use 1/4" NPT in a BSP country anyway? Ugh.
    • Just throwing around ideas, does it need to be in the compressor cover? Why not the hot side piping?
    • 1/8NPT drill size = 8.7mm. Since the hole got messed up by me, it’s probably around 9mm.    So 1/4” NPT would be next step. A drill size of around 11mm would be preferred there which is not way of my M12 (drill 10.5mm and tap M12 threads)
