Someone says you did something, you have video proof you didn't. You keep yourself safe on the road that way. Is that not obvious?

Not to say it can't happen but Ive never been in a situation like this and its not something I worry about either.

I hate these things with a passion! just wait till every car comes fitted with one from factory and you can upload a clip to the cops with one button! It will be pointless owning any sort of road registered performance car.

to me is sounds like you are anti forum kind of material, sure your not the kid with 2 cams in his car reporting everyone in vicotria from car meets?

sure seems that way....

regardless of the above if your not interested in any sort of way GTFO if you going to be negative towards everyone else that may want one...

This logic sucks dude. Many people have insurance without ever having been in an accident nor expecting to. But accidents happen, a lot, just like wrongfully issued speeding tickets or some prick trying to pin an accident on you. No one wants to take responsibility for accidents these days and some incidents are very difficult to prove. I know of at least 5 accounts of people getting screwed over or attempted to by the person at fault. One of them now refuses to drive a vehicle without one of these cameras fitted.

There's a reason so many in Russia use these. Your reasons against using them seem to be so that you can break the law?

Keen to see your feedback on the units. How does it protect from filming over existing data that you wanted to keep - ie. the accident footage. In case it happens you forget to turn it off or 'cant'.

Thats 10 units, Those who havent left deposits etc please do so...i will chase you up shortly

in the case of an incident (impact) the G sensor auto locks and protects that file so it can not be over written.

normal daily driving will record new files everytime u use the unit and will overwrite the oldest file on the unit and so on unless you remove it via pc etc. The only time this doesnt happen as is stated above under impact scenario.

The unit can be powered by internal battery for around 40mins after ignition (12v) is stopped if you wish to and this can be set manually so will not continue to run when you get out of the car

    • 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
    • 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.
