Hey all.

It's that time again, time for another Stagea cruise.

This one is happening on Sunday 27th march and it will be a southern run.

We will be meeting south ot the city in the morning and cruising away from there.

PM me for details.

At the end of the cruise we're planing to have a BBQ, so bring along whatever you want to cook up and eat.

(I'll have an esky in the back of my car to throw it in if you want)

This will be a family run, with no Hooning or stupid behaviour(and hopefully no wrong turns)

We will finish at a location that has a BBQ, a play ground for the kids and facilities.

Since Ill have the car by then I figured it would be a good opportunity to go for a drive and meet the Adelaide Stagea guys so Im planning on coming.

Mate wants to come too, and we might bring some cameras for a laugh!

awesome, the more the merrier!

my partner just got a new m35 stag so we may come,,

im assuming u are strictly stageas?

stageas only for this cruise, it's more fun that way, bystanders have no clue why 12-15 volvos are invading their town!

Ill bring out the ghetto spec stag... Dno if ill go the full distance tho!

bring it out, hopefully it's great weather so we can get some photos along the way.

well at the moment we wont be making it :(

gf is a baker and wont finish till 11 am sunday (super dooper gay)

new to the stags n wouldnt mind checking out sum others

you could still some down for the bbq, pm me for details, i can give ya a call when we get close

What time is this due to start/finish?

Ive just realised this is the same weekend as the Australian GP... So Ill go if it finishes early enough!

it will be a morning cruise, plan is for a bbq lunch so it won't be finished too late.

    • Yup. You can get creative and make a sort of "bracket" with cable ties. Put 2 around the sender with a third passing underneath them strapped down against the sender. Then that third one is able to be passed through some hole at right angles to the orientation of the sender. Or some variation on the theme. Yes.... ummm, with caveats? I mean, the sender is BSP and you would likely have AN stuff on the hose, so yes, there would be the adapter you mention. But the block end will either be 1/8 NPT if that thread is still OK in there, or you can drill and tap it out to 1/4 BSP or NPT and use appropriate adapter there. As it stands, your mention of 1/8 BSPT male seems... wrong for the 1/8 NPT female it has to go into. The hose will be better, because even with the bush, the mass of the sender will be "hanging" off a hard threaded connection and will add some stress/strain to that. It might fail in the future. The hose eliminates almost all such risk - but adds in several more threaded connections to leak from! It really should be tapered, but it looks very long in that photo with no taper visible. If you have it in hand you should be able to see if it tapered or not. There technically is no possibility of a mechanical seal with a parallel male in a parallel female, so it is hard to believe that it is parallel male, but weirder things have happened. Maybe it's meant to seat on some surface when screwed in on the original installation? Anyway, at that thread size, parallel in parallel, with tape and goop, will seal just fine.
    • How do you propose I cable tie this: To something securely? Is it really just a case of finding a couple of holes and ziptying it there so it never goes flying or starts dangling around, more or less? Then run a 1/8 BSP Female to [hose adapter of choice?/AN?] and then the opposing fitting at the bush-into-oil-block end? being the hose-into-realistically likely a 1/8 BSPT male) Is this going to provide any real benefit over using a stainless/steel 1/4 to 1/8 BSPT reducing bush? I am making the assumption the OEM sender is BSPT not BSPP/BSP
    • I fashioned a ramp out of a couple of pieces of 140x35 lumber, to get the bumper up slightly, and then one of these is what I use
    • I wouldn't worry about dissimilar metal corrosion, should you just buy/make a steel replacement. There will be thread tape and sealant compound between the metals. The few little spots where they touch each other will be deep inside the joint, unable to get wet. And the alloy block is much much larger than a small steel fitting, so there is plenty of "sacrificial" capacity there. Any bush you put in there will be dissimilar anyway. Either steel or brass. Maybe stainless. All of them are different to the other parts in the chain. But what I said above still applies.
    • You are all good then, I didn't realise the port was in a part you can (have!) remove. Just pull the broken part out, clean it and the threads should be fine. Yes, the whole point about remote mounting is it takes almost all of the vibration out via the flexible hose. You just need a convenient chassis point and a cable tie or 3.
