Definately not. Waybackmachine archive apparently stores it, but it's not at all user friendly.

Good luck with that. As cool as waybackmachine is - it captures flat, static copies of html pages in limited fashion, especially when it comes to database reliant websites like eBay. For a listing 3 years ago, per those who've suggested above most likely the only source is eBay themselves.

Wouldn't they delete the data, as the storage would be huge. I completed transaction through PayPal, I wonder if their database may store the ebay listing for longer?

Their database wouldn't store a thing to do with eBay.

It is a website for processing payments, it may link to eBay, but when you link, you rely on the source (eBay) maintaining the data... ;)

Your hope rests in eBay themselves.

Imagine it being a pain in the ass (and a fairly long shot!) to go into the snapshots to find but it does have *some* old listings in there.

Don't really understand Issue with Looking. Let's Investigate to Get A result Finally.

to put this bluntly you have high hopes and dreams as the ebay policy states on private and basic sales it is buyer beware. Ebay also only archive 3 months of listing just FYI

And as for way back its a static image of the page at that time and that being said the page may also not show on capture...

Ebay can give three years under archive, this falls outside their maximum scope according to enquiries. It needs someone with serious IT skill to get the result from web capture ebay archives.

If someone has dealt with ebay and retrieved a listing after 3 years then I would like to know.

    • 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.
