...Bueller had a MGB mocked up as a 250GT California Spider  

Deadset???? An MGB, they did a great job then. Alfa Spyder perhaps but MGB? Am i right in saying they did a good job, or am i just clueless whrn it comes to spotting kit cars:(Maybe i have to watch it again:thumbsup:

Oh and the Lotus from Pretty Woman...movie sucked but Espirit was awesome:)

Good call :D  

Ferris Buelers Day Off, was it a Daytona or a 250GT?

'61 Ferrari 250 GT California replica (based on a Corvette)

Miami Vice - Testarossa & Daytona Spyder (based on a Corvette)

Cobra was a '49 Mercury Coupe

Steve McQueen's GT390 owns Nick Cage's GT500!

McQueen also has the Porsche 917K and the Ferrari 512S in "Le Mans".

I think in Vanilla Sky there's a replica Ferrari 250GTO.

Troy Troy Troy the only car is Eleanor out of Gone in 60 Seconds ... oh and Angelina Jolie isn't half bad in it either :)

1967 Shelby GT 500

No question, Buster has it on the money......Mmmmm Angelina and Eleanor

Bullit - 67 Fastback

Gi60S - GT500 + Jolie = Ultimate hotness (the original is better i reckon)

Bad Boys 2 - Ferrari 550 (i think)

FnF - RX7 (vinnys car)

Blade - Charger

XXX - GTO

Rendezvous (Best movie EVER!) - Ferrari of some sort

    • 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.
    • ..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.
