Hey when im pumpin the beats all you can hear from the outside is an old rattling washing machine sound which sounds gay. Ive already got Dynamat in the doors, so they are fine. HOw do i stop the rego plate from going crazy? Dont think putting Dynamat in the whole boot is going to be right. What are your ideas?

Thx

Chris

hehe...if it worked in your doors, logic would tell you it would work on anything else vibrating also wouldnt it?

If you add weight to anything it will reduce the movement.

Also add a rubber foam dampener as suggested above to soften the impact, but both is best.

Sound deadening your boot is a good idea anyway imo.

A bit of foam between your plate and the car then screwed in works for some, for others a bit of blue tac, I don't see why double sided tape wouldn't work if it was thick enough.

I'd go some rubber stoppers, drilled so when you screw the plate in they sit between the plate and the car - this way will give it enough clearance not to have a chance to rattle on the car.

Otherwise use your imagination :rant:

i glued a nice sheet of foam about 6 to 8mm thick to the back of the numberplate and cut it to shape (and bevelled the edges :P) on my 180sx, then drilled 2 extra holes on the bracket for the bottom 2 nuts, and also cut the bottom bit of the bracket that sticks out a lil and rust proofed it. All up cost me about 5 bucks :D stopped the rattles good and made the numberplate area look a LOT better.

    • 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.
