I'm at the the lights at I think brunswick st just at the end of the eastern freeway. Some shitty old stationwagon volvo was reving and giving all the signs of wanting to race. I laughed and when the light went green putted away while he screamed off (cough laugh choke). Anyway I saw a red light camera and thought something was a bit odd about it, I have recently heard that some redlight cameras are now speed cameras too. Anyway this volvo zipped off at around 70 and I hung back doing the speed limit, as he went through the intersection. FLASH! So heads up, I know the lights on springvale and highstreet rd have a speed camera, so here is the second one. I believe there are currently 4 in victoria! :/

There are about 3 sets of speed/redlight camera's on alexander parade, 3 in bound, 3 out bound. They've been there for at least 2 years now. The one on higtstreet road and springvale road is NOT a speed camera, it is an updated red light camera. There are 2 different sets of speed limits that intersect there, one is 60 the other 70. The way to tell for future refrence is look for a large cyclinder on a pole or the side of a camera, thats the radar.

There are far more that 4 in victoria, there's at least 2 where mountain hwy meets boronia road.

Plenty of intersections have these now. Dandeong Rd on cnr of Orrong is another example.

Made in Sth Melb by Redflex systems: http://www.redflex.com.au/traffic/traffic_frame.htm

They look like this:

If you run a red - they get you.

If you speed through on green or yellow - they get you.

If you speed through red - they get you twice.

welcome to a long time ago.. jeebz, half of those were up a couple of years even before I left!

I've noticed the victorian road toll is also pretty much exactly the same as it was about 4 years ago too, they government just has a lot of money to show for it..

      Nah. You need 2x taps for anything that you cannot pass the tap all the way through. And even then, there's a point in response to the above which I will come back to. The 2x taps are 1x tapered for starting, and 1x plug tap for working to the bottom of blind holes. That block's port is effectively a blind hole from the perspective of the tap. The tapered tap/tapered thread response. You don't ever leave a female hole tapered. They are supposed to be parallel, hence the wide section of a tapered tap being parallel, the existince of plug taps, etc. The male is tapered so that it will eventually get too fat for the female thread, and yes, there is some risk if the tapped length of the female hole doesn't offer enough threads, that it will not lock up very nicely. But you can always buzz off the extra length on the male thread, and the tape is very good at adding bulk to the joint.

      Neg, the top one is actually for the front. The sizes are 18x10.5 +18 and 18x11 +32.   I measured many times but I'm sure I'll have problems as this is the thread for problems.

      Just one thing; tapping tapered threads is tricky. Taps are always tapered and you would generally run it as far as you can, but with a tapered thread you have to stop much sooner otherwise the wide part of the taper will run in too far and you will have to thread the sensor in too far too as well (possible that it will never make a good seal) BTW nice wide wheels, I guess the top one is for the back!

      Welp, good to know. Will have to wait awhile until steady hands with drills and taps are available. In other news, these just arrived! I will weigh them for posterity. Edit: 11kg each (or 10.9/11.1 depending on what my scale decides over multiple tests, the 18x11 don't seem to weigh noticeably any more than 10.5)
