How does it feel to be the only person laughing at something with Mohsen hahaha

And it's to stop the centers from surface rust..

It's to stop the centres of the cheaper rotors looking like ass. RDA's don't come with painted hats (centres) and go a nice shade of brown crap after a while.

I just painted the whole rotor, fark masking it. The pads take the paint straight off the surface.

Painting rotors is fine. The centers and the vents look ugly as fk when they have rusf around them. Why go to effort of masking them for a worse looking job? As long as the person isn't expecting the paint to stay on the contact area then they aren't stupid. The stupid people are the ones who think it's gonna cause an accident etc.

I was talking about masking the outer part of the rotor... still spraying the hats and a bit of overlap onto the rotor which the pad can remove and give a round line

Agree that that rust is ugly as fuark... rotor rust I used to get every time it rained and left it overnight :P

    • 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)
