Is there a backlog for the approvals in "Projects, Overhauls and Build-ups" section?

Maybe the mod for the section is on a break?

I put up a new project over a week ago and hasn't popped up yet and the most recent approved project I can find was from about a fortnight ago.

Or did my thread mearly get turfed? :wacko:

Cheers

Joel had the same issue recently, it took some time to get approved but it went through and was worth the wait!.... I assume with the mods working hard on the Nationals etc there is just a lot to do :)

Look forward to your build thread :yes:

yep - mods are extemely busy at the moment due to nationals was the answer i got.

Be pateint or pm a supermod if you see one online - Ash was nice enough to approve mine (thanks again ash :-)

OK, significant backlog cleared, let me know if some have been missed.

Also, the best way to chase up an unapproved thread is to contact the section moderators first: N1GTR, Col-GTSX. Or another way is the "report this post" link which also goes to the section moderators....best way to spread the workload across the volunteer mods

No, the problem is there is no thread started by you in either the build or motorsport build section. Not sure what happened but there is nothing there to approve. If you are concerned about the post just do a short intro in the first post and then once approved you can add more info.

Mate, I'm stuffed if I know what is happening....but there is no queued thread by you in motorsport builds from the last 2 days.

Can you start the topic somewhere else and send me a link, I will move it over to Builds

umm yep, you can't edit a post more than a couple of minutes after when you post it; we had to introduce that a few years ago to deal with dodgy trading.

I've removed that first line now too.

    • Nah. You need 2x taps for anything that you cannot pass the tap all the way through. And even then, there's a point in response to the above which I will come back to. The 2x taps are 1x tapered for starting, and 1x plug tap for working to the bottom of blind holes. That block's port is effectively a blind hole from the perspective of the tap. The tapered tap/tapered thread response. You don't ever leave a female hole tapered. They are supposed to be parallel, hence the wide section of a tapered tap being parallel, the existince of plug taps, etc. The male is tapered so that it will eventually get too fat for the female thread, and yes, there is some risk if the tapped length of the female hole doesn't offer enough threads, that it will not lock up very nicely. But you can always buzz off the extra length on the male thread, and the tape is very good at adding bulk to the joint.
    • Nice....looking forward to that update
    • Neg, the top one is actually for the front. The sizes are 18x10.5 +18 and 18x11 +32.   I measured many times but I'm sure I'll have problems as this is the thread for problems.
    • Just one thing; tapping tapered threads is tricky. Taps are always tapered and you would generally run it as far as you can, but with a tapered thread you have to stop much sooner otherwise the wide part of the taper will run in too far and you will have to thread the sensor in too far too as well (possible that it will never make a good seal) BTW nice wide wheels, I guess the top one is for the back!
    • Welp, good to know. Will have to wait awhile until steady hands with drills and taps are available. In other news, these just arrived! I will weigh them for posterity. Edit: 11kg each (or 10.9/11.1 depending on what my scale decides over multiple tests, the 18x11 don't seem to weigh noticeably any more than 10.5)
