Vlad's rides thread

I am hanging shit on you vlad, i dont mean any disrespect. From someone who has worked their whole life in the industry, i wish i was able to afford your level of attention to detail.

In the retail world, if i where to apply your way of doing things to customer cars, i'd go broke real quick, no one is going to pay me for the time id spend. Its a fine line between doing a great job and doing a shit job. Most workshop customers care about two things, cost and that what you fixed doesnt fuck up unitl long after the cost of the job is forgotten about. Never how it got done...

Like you, i only get to apply extra effort to my own projects because the time is mine.

Maybe you should work in F1 R&D, limitless budget, almost limetless time and only the best is acceptable... That would be dream job for me.

I know what you mean. Thats why I don't give a rats about other stuff thats not urgent, only my own projects and stuff that can't be redone without huge costs.

As for OCD, I was just explaining it because its a very misinformed disease with incorrect stereo type. Same goes as Dyslexia

Sorry. I couldn't help myself.

not sure if your requirement for the stud has to be external ?

i did a knock sensor in the 202 just put a bolt into the hole, cut it flat and then drilled and tapped it ?

looked at that idea but m8 is same size as the m10 thread troughs, basically disintegrating the thread if you try tap it.

One idea I had was to find a m10 bolt with a tall head, machine that flat and tap a thread in the head only allowing to screw on to the bolt itself. So far haven't found a bolt that has enough meat to drill and tap yet.

[Holden202T]

so a m10 helicoil will not drop it to the right size ?

[vlad01]

so a m10 helicoil will not drop it to the right size ?

dont think so, m10 is 1.5 pitch and m8 is 1.25 pitch

[Chuff]

Sorry if this sounds simplistic, but couldn't you just use an M8 and machine a bush to take up the slack between the shank of the bolt and the knock sensor?

Just a thought.

[vlad01]

its the other way around. the sensor it M8 and the thread in the head is M10
