Cracking event guys, thanks so much.

I went to get food at Fiddler and came back too late oops.

Also the stocker headlights I threw on the car earlier in the year (to pass rego check) were whack. First time I drove it at night in years and bloody hell the factory projectors are garbage. Didn't help that I didn't aim the lights. I better get cracking on retrofitting these headlights I have...

Thanks to SAU for putting the event on, and it was great to catch up with some old faces for the first time in ages (and yes, there was a fair bit of shady glancing "is that....." :))

Are you calling my face 'old' ?

Thank you to everyone who came!! It was a great turnout, and so far, all the feedback I’m getting is that everyone thoroughly enjoyed it! 
 

Apologies to those I didn’t get to catch up with and say hi… 😔

This was great fun, thanks @sammi_d and others for organising! Great work on that!

Here are some photos from us as well. Unfortunately no photos of the stands or the other models.

Good choice on the potato corner food truck! When we got there Jen was like "Oooooo, is that potatoto corner!?!". Stuff the Skylines, potato corner is the real attraction. Apparently it is a known entity in the food world. It was good, though I could already feel the heart disease developing working through my melted cheese on cheddar combination. It was also fluro orange.

Don with the full Kendo gear was incredibly zen. Makes me want to have a go at Kendo. Seems like it may be one of those martial arts that are seem useful in everyday life.

Jen drew a winning number in the raffle. Great timing as I had ordered a fire extinguisher from Mitre10 just a few days before. Ended up going there to pick it up and return it straight away.

I also felt slightly socially retarded going up to Duncan and going "EXCUSE ME, ARE YOU DUNCAN?!". Might try again next time with less awkward :D

Definitely looking forward to the next one though!

Fully agree with your daughter there. The 31 was my favourite as well. The frontend is just chef's kiss. It was very wholesome as well as the owner never saw the award for it coming.

speaking of which, where were you and the bogan mobile?

Down in your neck of the woods, visiting my daughter in Goulburn

    • 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.
