Ok seeing as Craig is ready now and has no excuses I think its time to get the ball rolling for another Stagea meet/cruise.

Going back to Oct 2011 we had the "15th Anniversary Cruise" and we had 22 Stagea's turn up so I think we should be able to hit the 30/40's by now!!!

First we can start with dates:

August Saturday 24th or Sunday 25th

August Saturday 31st or Sunday Sep 1st

September Saturday 14th or Sunday 15th

September Saturday 21st or Sunday 22nd

( I missed out the weekend of the 7th/8th of Sep cos I'm on call) :P

then we can discuss locations and cruise routes:

1) Royal National park down to the Gong.

2) Mac Pass to Robertson.

3) Bells line of Rd to Lithgow etc

4) Jenolan Caves Rd to Oberon

5) Putty Rd to Singleton

6) Old Pac Rd to Gosford

7) Old Northern Rd to Wisemans Ferry

8) or put a suggestion forward............

so lets do this lets get another awesome meet up happening!!!!!!!

1st would be good for me at this stage. Prob with south is the Newcastle guys will have a long trip so you can't win either way for that argument haha. West would be my recommendation. Then south and north meet in the middle. Also probably less traffic which would be very nice.

Just my two cents :)

its 220km from the M4 twin servo's at Eastern Creek to Mt Panorama (Bathurst) with a 3hr 20min drive Via Jenolan Caves & Oberon (where we could stop at Oberon RSL for lunch)

and then on the way back go down the Great Western to Lithgow and then hit up the Bells Line of Rd back to Richmond, which would make it a total of 367km and 5.5hrs.

Not sure what dates are best for me, so I'll leave that up to you guys to decide, but I would love a cruise up the Old Pac, then dinner at Trackside in Gosford.

This is a great idea.

Not the Weekend of the 14th please, this is WRC@Coffs weekend. http://www.rallyaustralia.com.au/

I'd be keen on this too!

All the dates are a little tricky for me ATM, but I'll be able to make a call a bit closer to the time.

    • 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.
