Just went out to 'top up' my transmission fluid. (due to leaking driveshaft seal) No DIY guides etc... Saw a nice looking bolt on the top of the box that 'looked' a lot like a filler point. Confident me went ahead and funneled about 1ltr into it, thinking to myself... Surely it hasn't leaked that much, but still wasn't 'full'...

Went ahead and googled it and realised that the filler bolt is way down the bottom of the box :/

Loosened the actual 'filler' bolt and out poured pretty much all the fluid i had just poured in from the top... Idiot, would have been over filled by quite a lot if i didn't realise.

Yeah I've built a racecar befor apparently...

haha, at least you corrected your error mike!

So this fuck up with my adapters is fucked.

Finding studs in the size I need is going to be expensive as fuck.
Priced them up, 100 pounds not including shipping.

If anyone can find 14x1.5 60mm press in studs for me locally and a hell of a lot cheaper, I'd much appreciate it.

Tried local hardware shops?
Otherwise get adaptec to send you more, i know someone else who had to do that once because of the deep seats on merc wheels.
I probably should have also, but i lived with a few turns

is it too soon to make 911 jokes in the normal random thread?

No one local, it's fucked...

I didn't get the adapters from Adaptec in the end, got them locally made through Stu.
Probably should have just went with Adaptec and made sure I mentioned I needed longer studs. Oh well, live and learn.

[SebastienPeek]

In saying that, wonder how much they'd cost from Adaptec and/if they had any.

[anth]

I reckon try some engineering places

know who?

[SebastienPeek]

Nope, I haven't had any direct contact with them, all been through Stu and Tim.

[Beware]

Have you looked at Nice Products? They have a shitload of studs, but not sure if what you want is on their site.....have a look. Sydney based place.

[dylan8]

It's prob my mate then, as I put those guys onto them.
If you can confirm with stu or Tim I can see if he has different studs

[SebastienPeek]

From what Tim said he couldn't get bigger studs.

Having a look at the Sydney folks website now. I'll need to contact Tim in regards to getting the dimensions used for the current studs so I can actually look up what stud to use, ie the knurl diameter etc.

But that site looks promising, thanks man!

[anth]

Have you tried using a stud finder?

ba-boom tishhh

[mohsen]

tall one with some weight to it.
my triple pulsating 5" dildo is no good.
