Thursday 23/12/04 - Christmas Lights Tour


Recommended Posts

If any of you are interested, I will be leading some people through the local southside christmas lights on Thursday night. I'm going on the BCC bus tour tonight and I thought I might just follow that route on thursday night. It's meant to go past most of the award winners on the southside of Brisbane.

If any of you are interested, we'll meet at Crazy Clarks Springwood carpark around 7:00ish. I'll make it earlier so you guys can bring the kids if you wanted to.

If not ones interested in seeing the christmas lights, tell me so and I'll scrap the idea :P

I guess I better take a pen and paper tonight to write down the streets then hey!

Just grab the Bus Drivers map Erin :P

But I should be there! I havent gone looking at chrissy lights for years!

This isn't going to be some full blown christmas lights spectacular, but I'll try my best to follow the same route that the lost bus driver took tonight. Obviously without the wrong turns. But that's half the fun. It went through runcorn, kuraby, algester, parkinson, crestmean, ... more crestmead, then to springwood.

never been to one of these meets before i might come.. if you see a red 34 crusin around its me tryin to find crazy clarks lol.. i think i might no where it is.. its on the left heading towards the coast at a large shopping center is that right?

If you are heading south along the freeway you take the rochedale/springwood exit and go straight through the set of lights at the top. Continue along that same road through another set of lights and it's on the left before the right hand turn off to go to the gold coast.

Seeming it's also late night shopping and 2 nights before christmas, there might be a few parking issues, but most of you know my car, so if you see me... just park and come over.

    • 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 BSP male) Is this going to provide any real benefit over using a stainless/steel 1/4 to 1/8 BSP reducing bush?
    • 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.
