Clearances are the same on all 4 corners. (Right, left, top, bottom)

@deezums Email me the drawings so I can confirm if the brackets match the drawings. If so the drawings need to be adjusted.

I'm a smart guy and was playing with the air compressor and killed my phone microphones. ****. Didn't want to buy another phone yet.

lol

You might be able to replace just the microphone, sometimes they are on daughter modules.

The offset there should be 10.5mm or .413"

I still need to check mine, they aren't rubbing yet. Going to an autocross tomorrow so we'll see.

Metallic pads should rattle and groan a little when you roll or coast a bit with little brake pressure, right? That's the only thing I've noticed thus far, other than they clamp like ******* crazy.

Did you measure the gap? Mine didn't rub until the track day.

smart choice, I'd be totally happy with a brand new replacement of my current 3 year old phone. The tin whiskers are slowly taking her away from me.

Tin whiskers...talk about an amazing metallurgical phenomenon. I remember working with a friend on his senior engineering project examining and tracking the growth of tin whiskers via SEM.

Cool phenomenon, incredible pain the *** for electronics equipment...

Yeah. I love my moto x. And there isn't anything else on the market like it. It just got the 5.1 lolipop update.

I almost bought 2...if I hadn't just bought the walbro 450 and abs system i would have.

@deezums. 1/8th NPT temp sensor with gm curve? From a Saturn right? Got the PN/link saved?

@codrus. Fuel pressure sensor? Some sort of tap into your AN lines?

No luck on the fender washers. Going to order the amazon ones I guess.

I'll measure the brackets when I get home.

I don't have a pn handy, but any Saturn 1.9l from around 96 ish will get what you need.

The plug is expensive, more than 3x the sensor so junkyard for that if you can.

Still nothing on washers. Might have to spend the $15 on the set of 25.

Sender:

M3031-000005-100PG Measurement Specialties | Mouser

As for hooking it in, I stuck a male/male/female tee into the AN lines and ran a remote line to it. NPT to AN male adapter from Summit, and clamp the sender to the fender. I have it hooked to the unused "EGO2" input on my MS3.

Also need to find a 1/8npt oil pressure sensor. I need to do some testing but the plan is to set a trigger to basically shut the engine off when oil pressure goes below a certain PSI.

The same sensor will work for oil pressure too, although IIRC it's 1/4 instead of 1/8 NPT.

Poke around on Mouser's site, they've got lots of sensors.
