You're talking about this bit ?? Concern being the washer bending/crushing into the gap ? I looked at this and was just gonna get some high tensile washers tomorrow morning. The shop around the corner was shut today.
Edit: I got some at work, but won't be there till Wednesday.

I've just made two 8mm 40x40 washers for you
that looks like you'll still have some thread sticking out of the nut
I have HT washers here.
No stress mate, I'll just get some my self. You've already done enough work on these for me. Just some large HT washers and bingo.Quote:

So I managed to slam one bolt in with a bunch of washers, and I guess somehow it created / re-created it's own thread?? But important thing is, that bracket is now secure and going nowhere.

If really concerned you could put a heli coil in it.
As I told you I was buying heaps of tools, one thing thats become very
handy was a huge tap and die set about 600mm x 600mm two layers
Thats been a godsend on more than one time,
Looks like that bolt has been put in with a rattle gun at some stage
Tap and die set ... To buy list !!Quote:

5 All common drills are either too big or too small for your tap
Other than that they are a great addition to your tool set.:thumbup:
This is my one, and you'd be surprised how many you actually use.
and worth every cent IMO. Of coarse you dont use some but who uses a 15mm spanner?
great for me as I can make bits up

Alright. So excuse the ignorance ...
In Laymans terms, it's pretty much like a "bolt" with a thread, that's generally tougher than the metal you're tapping into, and as it's spun into the metal it creates or -recreates a thread ?????
Bingo got it in one lol
Not to be confused with a thread file equally as handy IMO

Put a set of new shoes on. Mickey Thompson P3's in 285/75/16 on a set of black rims. Also painted the rusty hubs as it looked bad with new rims on. Just have to fix the front hubs now looks pretty shit.

That looks great mate! Heard lots of good reports on those tyres also. What offset rims did you get?
I have a basic set at home 5-12mm or there a bouts. Comes in handy for all sorts of chassis bolts that want to be a PITA. Just run the tap through the hole and it cleans out all the rust, corrosion, dirt and all manner of other crap that makes like difficult, then you can just run the bolt in by hand most times.Quote:

Thinking ,,,seeing you've blacked the grill why not that
chrome on the rear door just saying give it that stealth look
Still have your flag bracket here too, next time eh.
I welded mine yours is bolted on via 2 bolts
Waiting for it to come back from painting. And I'll go from there. Thinking mirros and that rear barn door chrome bit maybe...
Tapatalked from S6
Did see one that blacked the area above the doors.
looked great side on
Yeah black all the chrome, think about top of rear doors too
That looks tops. Much more professionalQuote:

Time to fit some gauges to see what she is doing during these warm times we're having ...
I've settled for the Redarc, Boost, EGT and numerical temp. which will be my water temp ...
Just in a dillema now, 2 optional sensors related to the water temperature are as follows:
GS-OWT1-4 - A coolant or oil temperature sensor with a 1/4 NTP thread that is designed to measure from -20~ +170°C. Itis supplied with 3 metre extension cable to connect to your REDARC gauge.
or
GS-OWT1-8 - The REDARC GS-OWT1-8 is a coolant or oil temperature sensor with a 1/8 NTP thread that is designed tomeasure from -20~ +170°C. It is supplied with 3 metre extension cable to connect to your REDARC gauge.
Quickly do any of these fit any of the ones on the thermostat hosing, specifically the larger one that I circled in green ? I did try searching this and the other forum, but I'm more confused now than when I started. So yeah does anybody know exactly what fitting I need ?
And another somewhat silly question, but thought I better ask. Undoing any of these sesnors on the housing, will obviously spew coolant out, I'd do it when it's cold, but would I have to bleed the system afterwards ? Never fiddled with these so.... Very green on this !!
http://www.nissanpatrol.com.au/forum...id=63093&stc=1
There are no NPT threads on a Patrol. Nissan use BSPT for all tapered fittings.
The threads in that housing are not tapered. From memory, it's a M10x1.5
You might find it will make a lot less mess if you drop your coolant level first from the tap under the radiator.
I'm pretty sure the one you circled is a 12 x 1.5. The 2 outside ports are 12 x 1.5 and the one in the middle is a 10 x 1.5
Yes M12 metric fittings.
Thanks folks. So i can still utilize that hole, just with an adapter.
Yes thats where i have my temp sender. I used an adapter....Quote:

Ummm.... it was a m12x1.5 to 1/8(whatever the fitting is) adapter.
But jpc used a different adapter for some reason. I thinknthey didnt realise the adapter was in the box of a million parts when they were doing the conversion.
Pretty sure it was m12x1.5 too.
Send me a text later and ill see what i ordered.
The adapter is something that a hardware store wouldnt have. Maybe Pirtek? VPW in Epping would surely have them. They do a go fast stuff...
You could also drill and tap a 1/8 NPT thread in that existing bung
Is eveyone positive its 1.5 pitch being the coarse thread compared to 1.25?
Doesnt sound right to me, happy to be wrong lol
On the TD42T, all the water cooling and oil feed banjos for the turbo are 1.5
see Im wrong and Im happy lol
Any hydraulic shop will have what you need pirtek, hydraulink etc. Should be relatively cheap otherwise ebay.
Tbh John i cant remember, something is telling me its 1.5 though.Quote:
