Cold calling isn't bad as long as you have a premise for doing it, here is an example of a cold call that I have done. I heard from a customer in Umart that St Hildas was going to put a tender out for businesses to supply computer hardware for the school, so knowing that premise I rang the admin part of the school and found out the who the person was who was in charge of the tender process. I then rang that person and had a quick chat, made an appointment to see him to see what it was they were looking for and how I could be the one who could provide what he was looking for. It isn't that bad when it is like that, because generally they want to take the easiest route to solving their problem.

Someone plonking a phone book down in front of you and saying start with "A. Aaronson" and try to sell something to someone who has no need for your product is the lowest form of sales and is why sales people have a bad name.

I used to generally get roof restoration mobs... or vacumm sales or carpet cleaning.....

Its always when i sit down for dinner too.... I hate that....

But my phone never rings as my gf works for the goverment and we now have a protected number... (not silent... protected)

Having a partner that works in a silent part of the goverment is great cause you get lots of perks. We are on a Pri 1 when ringing 000, so if my car were to be stolen they would be here in minutes.... Or..... if an axe murderer were beating down my door they would be here in seconds.... GOTTALOVEIT....

My old dogs got put down due to a house to house salesman...

I had a sign on the gate.... Beware of dangerous dog....

One dog bit him.... he kicked it and it was all on.... Council took them away... Legally i had no rights... Cause they said it could have been the elecrticity guy or it could have been the police or it could have been a child.... Well ill tell you rust never bit someone unless they provoked him first....

I hate door to door salesman....

    • 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)
