Launceston is a bit far away. I'm living in glenorchy at the moment.

At the moment I have very limited skills which would be suitable for an office job. I'm just looking to get out of the labouri g side of things. I have good computer knowledge but am willing to learn or take courses necessary.

It might help mate, if you posted up what you can do.

Can you use Microsoft office?

Can you use any work related programs or have you used them before? MYOB? any tax programs and so on? It might be an idea to get your hands on some of these and have a play around. If you can familiarise yourself with them, you would be a bit more "skilled" for an office job.

But IMO most office jobs consits of answering phones, transfering calls,

collecting mail, filing, organising paperwork for people,

and general computer work (depending on the industry).

this is obviously a *very* generalised and simplistic synopsis of what it is to do an office job. there is more to it... but generally they would be your main tasks

Do the rounds at the department stores as they've all started hiring for Xmas but u may be a bit late.  Just another bit of advice, dress as u would for an interview and be polite to any of the staff you may speak to.  They usually write on the top of the applications their first impressions as you probably won't be speaking to the manager and be available to work.  I have put many applications aside cos applicants have dictated to me when they wanted to work.  if ur looking for 9-5 Monday to Friday then forget working in retail or hospitality.

    • 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)

    • Why are you so adamant on going M12? Why not follow Brad (GTSBoy) suggestion. You're talking moving from a 1/8" size, to a 1/2" effectively. 4 times bigger. Why skip the commonly available sizes in between? The bigger you go, the more likely you are to strip the threads out at a later date, as guaranteed, someone will put a huge spanner on the M12 and really tighten it up, and you're only in thin wall, so not a lot of threads to engage!
    • Hi. Yeah thanks. Car is already at tuners and it staying there to resolve "many" issues they do not like. So it is in a good hands. Getting a good tune on that Nistune ECU too so the car would be good. Just needs a little tune up and love.
