Let me know what you think,

I don't know if they can be bronze anodized anywhere,

might be a better option to get it powdercoated white or gunmetal grey,, which is a much cheaper option,,,

anyways,,

let me know if anyone is interested in having a closer look at these rims,,

best time for me is on the weekends,,,

i'm in brisbane

hey sydneykid, can u explain to me wat this means im abit of a noob

I am not trying to kill Afros sales. :fart:

"Cast" means the alloy is pored into a mold using gravity or a bit of pressure over a length of time. The rims can then sometimes be heat treated to make them stronger. It is a compromise between making them strong but not to brittle. Softer rims are easier to repair by maching or rolling, some can even be welded.

"Forged" means that very high pressure is used to sqeeze the alloy into shape, very rapidly. They are very hard and strong, slightly more brittle and not easy to re-roll or machine.

"Anodised" is an acid etching style of process where the alloy is dipped into a bath and the etch changes the colour of the surface. This is very durable surface and very light, there is no weight of paint. But they can't be easily re-coloured as they have to be totally dipped into the anodising solution.

"Painting" is well painting, the alloy is sprayed with paint (or powder coated) and generally baked in a oven. The paint is a couple of mm thick so it adds weight to the rim. But it is easy to repaint the whole rim or touch up damaged bits.

Hope that helps :)

    • 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.
