Yep that should work, can you measure outside of plug that's in sump right now? to confirm it is what i expect it to be

cheers Richie

this one?
1/4'' NPT female to 1/8'' NPT male
or here in belgium the sender can be in metric? so i will take 1/4npt female to  M10 male if avaible

thx richie ..appreciate your help

Hi Fabs, it will be npt, most temp senders are 1/8th npt but usually the sump has different size like 1/4npt so you need an adaptor to fit it

cheers Richie

hi guys , i need your help , i would put an oil temperature sender  in my racetrim  oil sump
but i don't know  the threads , should I use as metric or NPT?  for the guy who worked  at auto haus do you remember ,
i can not remove the bolt as there some oil in the sump and case
thanks for you help
it's a little bit hurry

That’s awesome I’ll get hold of some and thank you for the oil spec as well .

the car was out last weekend. I finally took it to the track (with a tower) to see what it does.
it ended up with mixed feelings in the end. I did a 14,41 run. I had to calm down a lot. the biggest problem was/is/will be the driver. so the calmer I got the better I had control of the car and the better it performed.
it's a starting point from where there is so much to improve.

I redid quite a bit over the last months. I fitted 29mm torsion bars, fitted two gearboxes. ran the engine that had been sitting for 15 years a week before the event for the first time. and then 2 days prior. so driving was n to an option.

I still have wheel hop, so that will need work. the tyres don't help as they are the same as 12 years ago and where not that good then.

Your car looks amazing!!

Ready for dyno and some testing

Thanks Stephen

Onto this weekends work. So on Monday i have made up the prototype panel (note the change in name more on this later) and had it almost complete apart from switch position and where i was going to put the warning light. So saturday morning (18th May 2024) Daniel and i headed out to get things fitted. Daniel ably assisted with the allen key as we bolted the dask plate in place, this allowed me to pick up a couple of missing bolt holes and sort out where the bolts on the right hand side were going to go. A bit of mucking around, including having to drop the steering column and remove the panel to drill the switch holes, we had the dash in place with gauges and switches fitted. Daniel even practiced his launches. though maybe a seat will help. (see pic below)

The first observation was.....the rev counter is not aligned to the steering column (see white line on the pic below to show correct position), so i'm going to have to re-make it as my OCD can't cope with that. It's no bad thing as some of the gel coat has chipped off the edges of the panel so this re-make will allow me to perfect the process and get a better product at the end.

The other simply bolt in place job that i was going to get Daniel to do was to fit the cruiser pedal....yeah that's not a bolt on job, but handily i have some talented friends who will get it sorted over the next few weeks when i lift the carpet. So not a big update, but some progress made. Excuse the finger prints over the panel it does look a lot better when clean. Next week i'll head up and make a new one and get it bolted in while the lad is at football.
