Considering making a gif thread Steve, seeing as people complain that it takes so long to open the Wasteland with a page full of them. I remember when the wasteland was full of pics, videos and gifs!! But saying that, theres enough threads popping up weekly with stolen cars and misplaced for sale items, we probably dont need another thread.

Yeah but 2mb avatars seem fine :/

Make a thread bugger it or just post here

I've only seen one person complaining. I go through the wasteland a lot with my phone, page full of gifs only adds 30 seconds, even on Vodafone.

yes its me lol

I like the gifs just not with 1 bar of signal on safari. firefox much better. (optard shares towers/switches with voodophone so both suck), hell all phone companys suck in general

my 4s will be here friday so I'll see it the Dual antenna fixes anything, doubt it maybe if I jam a coat hanger in the headphone port and put tinfoil balls on that ? like old tv antennas.haha

optard confirmed the network is overloaded down here, galaxy S was worse then the iphone signal and ate the battery faster when they shipped me a brand new test one

maybe I should use this kit

just came back from a wheel alignment and they told me I need a 'camber kit'.

After some quick googling, seems like whiteline offers something called a camber kit :P out of curiousity, what does this include?

Also, any suggestions where I could pick this stuff up?

Useless. the adjustment they offer is almost non existent. Just head down to JIS and buy a set of adjustable camber arms. While you're at it, get some toe rods too.

Problem solved.

guess optard reads my threads, the network engineeer is in my driveway now with a truck full of antenna location test gear, quick hide..lol

funny when I speak face to face they're all from Norway (ex nokia staff maybe ??) second time now both guys from norway..haha odd

best thing is , I dropped a call while standing in front of him,,haha classic

the whiteline camber kit when using both bushes can remove -.75 camber. with arms to can reduce up to -3. alot more adjustment for a bit more money, and in the long run will be better than forking out for tyres all the time

just random build threads im finding on the net. Usually Amercian stuff. Tempted to get a tig welder myself and just teach myself how to weld. Its a good thing to be able to do.

Nice welds, they call it a roll of dimes in usa. cause it looks like a roll laid out like a deck of cards. DOH.

TIGS and GAS MIGS can weld that nice depending on material . I have a unused mig if you want to practice sometime..lol

Pipes are harder you have to be able to spin it nonstop while welding.or you get stop, start marks not as pretty ..lol

    • 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.
