i was driving tonight and my mate behind me said that he seen something bright orange flick up from around my RHR tire,

he assumed it was a cigarette then it happened again,

i had a look underneath but cant see anything that looks out of place,

or can think of anything that would drip bright orange,

Any Ideas

Even if he did, there would be more smoke then burning chunks of handbrake shoe?

Years ago I had a HZ Premier, it had one of those handbrakes that are on the door side of the drivers seat.. you pull it up and it goes back down again (as opposed to staying up like most handbrakes). When I picked it up for the first time I didn't realise the handbrake was still on (because it was down), a few kilometres down the road I had molten something dripping off each rear hub.

na wasnt the handbrake, and the exhaust was fine, tires are almost new, went for a two hour drive afterwoods and didnt happen again, could of just been a coincedence, ran over two cigarettes, or flicked a peice of glass that caught my brake light and looke like fire or something like that

Did you throw out an orange? No seriously when you were driving could you have hit a pothole or something that could cause your exhaust or whatever to hit the ground?

      What should I do next to hold the head on

      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)
