Hi,

1. For a week or so now when I send a PM I am being Challenged.

I.e System generated challenge asking that I type in 2 words and submit. One of the words is those worped looking one's you get when new to a site to ensure your not a spambot.

2. When starting a new topic I can see it in the forum immediately. However there is a delay for others. Sort of like a submisson some one checks before allowing it.

Just want to make sure this is correct as it didn't happen previously.

Cheers

Richard

Christian will have to answer the first, I assume there is something which thinks you are a spam bot at times. (might be true?)

2. Yes some forums require moderation before you can see a topic, but that applies to everyone including the original poster. The moderated sections (Builds, DIYs, etc) are because people consistently post the wrong sort of threads in those sections and we want the chance to move them first. If you can see a new thread and someone else can't straight away, it must be some sort of server or local caching issue.

Hahaa!!

Yeah we challenge users via Cloudfront.com when there is suspicious behavior. It was set to let people access the site for a day after completing the challenge, I've increased this to a month.

If this is still too much, I'll disable it. I didn't realise it was affecting legit users.

Let me know.

      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 BSP male) Is this going to provide any real benefit over using a stainless/steel 1/4 to 1/8 BSP reducing bush?

      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.

      ..this is the current state of that port. I appreciate the info help (and the link to the Earls thing @Duncan). Though going by that it seems like 1/4 then BSP'ing it and using a bush may work. I don't know where I'd be remote mounting the pressure sender... to... exactly. I assume the idea here is that any vibration is taken up by the semiflexible/flexible hose itself instead of it leveraging against the block directly. I want to believe a stronger, steel bush/adapter would work, but I don't know if that is engineeringly sound or just wishful thinking given the stupendous implications of a leak/failure in this spot. What are the real world risks of dissimilar metals here? It's a 6061 Aluminum block, and I'm talking brass or steel or SS adapters/things.
