anyone here tried 'permatex' headlight restoration kit? i was working all sat so couldn't get to supercheap, so asked my mate who was going down to grab me some headlight restore stuff. haven't heard of this stuff before so asking to see if anyone's tried it... else i'll just return and get something tried and tested.

main concern also is that it doesn't come with a sealant...

Full bore the best fun, but for target ammo expect 1$ or more a round

little cheaper for practise

plus you ahve to travel long ways to get to the venues, but the rifles are the cheapest

small bore is much easier to start with and the skills transfer across

air rifle is gay

Pistol is a royal PIA to get a license and keep it.

expect many random visits from cops at strange hours to check on them

but find a club close check tey have club rifles and gear and go try it

Never heard of it. I've used the turtlewax and another brand can't remember what though. Definately not permatex though. Very strange there's no sealer either.

    • 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)
