Hey Ando,

In your post you said you need a drivers licence. I called EC Karts and they said this is only if your under 18. My mate is disqualified for 6 months, and his was ripped up. They said that as long as he looks above 18 should be no prob. I think I'll get him to bring his passport along though just in case.

Nismo - Yeah sorry dude i didnt make it very clear in my post, apologys, but yes as long as pplz are over 18 it shouldnt be a prob, but bringing a form of identification is a good idea if u have no license!!!!

Brendanf - Thanks champ for finding out about Franks!!!! Much appreciated!

As for meeting points i think 99% of us will be meeting at Homebush 6C carpark so hey why not make it official!!!

ALL THAT CAN MEET AT HOMEBUSH 6C CARPARK BE THERE AT 1PM FOR A 1:30PM DEPARTURE

We can all cruise up to EC together, but if you decide against meeting at 6C just make sure you are at EC by 2pm!!!!!!!!

Paul (URMINE) - Dude i never questioned that u were coming mate:uh-huh: Just needed a conformation. I have msn u on a number of occasions but never seem to get a reply!!!:rolleyes:

If you have any probs give me a call on 0402 328 667

Ando

Ando, on behalf of all the boiz than made it down to EC today - THANKS MATE ! Awsome day man !!!!

Good to see everyone and congrats to ?Trevor? the legend for 1st Place !!

PS - my radio batteries died on the way home !!

Who has a sore back and sore hands ?????

Sorry Prank, no Pics. Cause we were all racing ! he he

I went for a spin on one or two occasions - only cause someone else spun in front of me......

Paul (URMINE) collected half a pallet or something on the drive up, resulting in fairly large scratch to front bar plus loss of indicater.

Benm did well even tho he left P plates at home.

I gotta work on my 'power to weight ratio' . I definitely felt that the carts understeered on some corners - backed up by experiment in the last final - me at same pace and line as another - him, tight turn on fast left hander, me very wide and understeering to compensate the momentum shift.

Oh, and Paul would have come first had they given him a decent kart for the first heats ..... Right mate ???

Grade A skanks at 6C (big day out crowd)

Big thanks to parking attendant dude who let us park illegally until everyone rocked up..

Again big thanks to Ando for organising - It was a cracker !

CHeers,

    • 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.
