Not the way i wanted to post pics up of my new toy...but i thought i would share and try and catch the little punks

I was driving up Yamba heading south past O'Malley at about 10.40pm (near Mawson Dr) and i hear a massive thud on my passenger side...after pulling up and checking out i had been hit with a large rock/bit of cement and put a decent size dint in my passenger rear door. (See attached pic)

Did a u-turn and went back looking for them and they had ran off as far as i was to believe...called the cops and just got off the phone to.the police and another car got hit on the windscreen and shattered her windscreen (lucky it didnt go though).

If any one was in the area about that time spotted any kids there, any descriptions or help would be great. Want to catch the little punks!!!

Extremely pissed off!!!!

Had a it happen twice a long time ago when I was driving my mum's car. Once on Athlon and the other time at the Monaro highway. I actually found the kids on Monaro but they were so young. I reported to the Police, they turned up but nothing happened. And my Mum was being a retard about it so I didn't pursue it any further.

I would really blame the parents but they'll blame some one else. Seems to be that way these days.

From what ive seen theres different reasons why some kids are like that.

Some are frustrated and take it out on society, others are born or raised as assholes.

Scientists have proven that animals are born with personality, so its actually true that some people are born jerks.

Some will learn from a beating, others will learn if you go and smash his bike in revenge.

I would really blame the parents but they'll blame some one else. Seems to be that way these days.

I remember as a naughty kid, there were various situations with parents.

I would get in heaps of trouble if caught, but my parents were always at work.

My mate over the road would also get in trouble, but his mum was single, overworked, overstressed, and actually not well health wise.

Another mates dad was a truckie, always away, and his mum was stupid so we could easily fool her.

Then there were also those guys that seemed to come from a family of fkwits, and their parents didnt seem to care what happened.

So often the kid will get in trouble if caught, never know your luck.

That's really Fuucked but it could've been worse I guess.

I'd be Spewin' if it happened to me or mine.

Still, I hope the little sh!ts cop it and get a fat dose of Karma too.

Eventually they will.

All those guys from my youth who were bad to the bone are in jail or dead.

Some died in stolen cars in high school or college. Vic police got one in the back of the head.

Thats what i realized at 15. Eventually it catches up with you, your behavior dictates the circumstances you are in.

In other words: you asked for it.

Try to be happy instead.

      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.

      And if you have to drill the oil block, then just drill it for 1/4" and tap it BSP and get a 1/8 to 1/4 BSP bush. The Nissan sender will go straight in and the bush will suit the newly tapped hole. And it will be real strong, to boot.

      No it doesn't. It just needs an ezy-out to pull that broken bit of alloy out of the hole and presto chango - it will be back to being a 1/8" hole tapped NPT. as per @MBS206 recco. That would be for making what you had in alloy, in steel. If you wanted to do just that instead of remote mounting like @Duncan and I have been pushing. A steel fitting would be unbreakable (compared to that tragically skinny little alloy adapter). But remote mounting would almost certainly be 10x better. Small engineering shops abound all over the place. A lathe and 10 minutes of time = 2x six packs.
