I am involved in putting on a Motoring Festival in Geelong Victoria on December 1 and 2 this year and though some of you might be interested in either attending displaying or competing.

The Geelong Revival will based on the old Geelong Speed Trials that took place from 1956-2003, and was a key event on the Geelong events calendar. The centerpiece of the event is a near quarter-mile (approx 370m) timed sprint along the Geelong Waterfront. We have decided to bring the event back with a vengeance, expanding on the sprints to include a Classic motor show, Expo, Gala Dinner, Fashions on the paddock, Kids Zone and heaps of other activities. There will be a nostalgic slant on the event, but we would love to see cars from all eras of motoring and pedigrees make an appearance at the event!

The event is FREE to spectate but if you want to be fully involved you can purchase tickets to the pits or the Gala Dinner, enter in the motorshow or compete in the sprint

Entries and tickets are available online http://www.geelongrevival.com.au

Hope to see you there.

How many entries are being allocated for the Sat? Class U seems to be what our guys would fit into.

I'm asking as I see you've only allowed 75mins for each timed session, and only 3 sessions... For $195

One car drops oil that's session over would be the concern of most :)

Sorta sounds more like a showcase rather than a competition.

      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

      Jacks that fit under GTR lips that can reach the subframe?

      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.
