Thank you guys for your support, I had organised a Track day for Gerards Birthday on the 20th of May.

This is still going ahead as a tribute to both Tom and Gerard, they were amazing guys and no words can express how much they are loved and will be missed.

It is a speed off the streets day, so if you were friends with either of the boys or wish to pay your respects, you are more than welcome to attend.

I will pass on all your kind words to the families involved.

It is a sad day indeed, but any words of support are comforting.

That's a gutsy post of yours Alex. You take care now on the 20th.

If the two families would appreciate a book each that I wrote called,

"GOOD GRIEF - BAD TIME" '3 Ways Of Coping With Loss' ...

PM me with your address, and I'll send them to you for free.

Otherwise these published books are distributed by...

One of the poems inside my book is this... It's written anonymously by a woman who lost 2 sons I'm led to believe...

"I'm Spending Christmas With Jesus Christ This Year"

I see the countless Christmas trees around the world below

With tiny lights like heaven's stars reflecting on the snow.

The sight is so spectacular; please wipe away that tear

For I am spending Christmas with Jesus Christ this year.

I hear the many Christmas songs that people hold so dear

But the sounds of music can't compare with the Christmas choir up here.

I have no words to tell you, the joy their voices bring

For it is beyond description to hear the angels sing.

I know how much you miss me: I see the pain inside your heart

But I am not so far away; we really aren't apart.

I cannot tell you of the splendour or the peace inside this place.

Can you imagine Christmas with our Saviour, face to face?

I will ask Him to light your spirit as I tell Him of your love

So then pray for one another as you lift your eyes above.

So be happy for me, dear ones, you know I hold you dear

And be glad I'm spending Christmas with Jesus Christ this year.

I sent you each a special gift from my heavenly home above.

I sent you each a memory of my undying love.

After all, love is a gift more precious than pure gold:

It was always most important in the stories Jesus told.

Please love and keep each other, as my Father said to do

For I can't count the blessing or love He has for each of you.

So have a 'Merry Christmas' and wipe away that tear.

Remember, I am spending Christmas with Jesus Christ this year.

God Bless you Alex...

I had med them both on a few occasions and have had some great chats.

Gerard always offered advice since I met him at my very first event last August..

It is a very sad day for us all..

Again Rest in Peace friends, Texi will always bring back some strong memories of a friend taken too soon.

Thank you for all the good times,

You will live on always in our hearts.

I only met Gerard and Tom at the last Texi event in Jan, but both were some of the friendliest guys I've ever metmet. Happy to offer a kind word, encouragement, and mateship. Though I didn't know them anywhere near as well as a lot of people on this forum, I can still say that I'll miss them... And that all of us will always remember them.

    • 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)
