There's a steep driveway at my Mum's place which would abrade low lips like nobody's business at the bottom concave section.

Then I installed a rubber speed hump set. It took half an hour to get the positioning just right & then the masonry bolts went in.

The lower lip only faintly brushes the rubber hump now :)

Did the dodgy and used a plank of wood and some bricks... looks so shabby

Will look @ investing in some of those rubber speed humps.... I have the same problem with the curve @ the top of the driveway.

Have to reverse up to get out too! Skidding all over the place with the semi slicks ....0.o

I made a custom lip that was 20mm shorter than standard. Extreme approach but I have the driveway from hell (but ain't moving cause cost us just about everything we owned to get into this place).

Oh and have the wood and bricks too to get out of the garage to the incline on the driveway (goes up then down onto the street).

Pick and shovel with hard work or a bobcat and cash.

I made a driveway, carport, and level paved area all by hand.

It helps to have construction experience so you get the drainage and retaining walls right.

Second hand pavers and my own ute made it cheap.

My back says i should have paid for a bobcat.

>_<

    • 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)

    • Why are you so adamant on going M12? Why not follow Brad (GTSBoy) suggestion. You're talking moving from a 1/8" size, to a 1/2" effectively. 4 times bigger. Why skip the commonly available sizes in between? The bigger you go, the more likely you are to strip the threads out at a later date, as guaranteed, someone will put a huge spanner on the M12 and really tighten it up, and you're only in thin wall, so not a lot of threads to engage!
    • Hi. Yeah thanks. Car is already at tuners and it staying there to resolve "many" issues they do not like. So it is in a good hands. Getting a good tune on that Nistune ECU too so the car would be good. Just needs a little tune up and love.
