Longest 2 weeks ever (PAN IS TAPPED Pics Inside!!)
3 Attachment(s)
So 2 weekends ago I finally find a local guy with a 1/2npt tap i can borrow, next day I leave for 2weeks 16hrs north into the dam arctic circle practiclly.
Finally back and tapping the pan tom, weather is supposed to b nice at 0*C (compared to the dam snow and -30 I had the whole time I was up there) Also dropping off my downpipe tonite to get the turbo flange put on... When the snow is gone the miata will b driving:bigtu: Well I did it (finally). Wasn't hard at all really, lots of filings though, took prolly half an hour or so. I had my technical consultant on hand to direct me too:cool: Attachment 216800 I seriously did do some of the tapping myself though :gay: The drilling was done by me atleast, Attachment 216801 Followed braineacks advise for location (atleast as much as I could remember) Attachment 216802 Pretty happy how it turned out, seems quite strong even though its only 2threads or so.:bigtu: |
now with pics (bump)

good work. i know how you feel too. i'm about a day of work or two away from getting my car up and running again and had to go on a 9 day trip and have to go on another 5 day one next week.

I think you drilled it too high up on the pan,it should have been an inch lower.
Anyways....-30!!!!! Dude you need to move to B.C,the temp outside today is +10. |
