Slowpoke attempts to kill himself in a golfcart!

Careful...that's a 1/8-27 NPT brass fitting and the honda uses a M10x1 inverted flare fitting. The threads sort of fit, but they're different and won't seal for shit at high pressures.

Thanks for the info!

I ordered M12x1.5 male to 1/8 female NPT fittings for the master cylinder and also ordered M10x1.0 male to 1/8 female NPT fittings for the calipers so I'm not hackfucking the brake system together. They are steel and seal with copper washers so I should be good to go.


On another note.... I ordered the MAO required window net mounting kit from Summit this morning along with the brake fittings so I should have plenty of work to do to the car this week/weekend.

I think I'm going to go to the Texas Outlaw race on the 30th and run in the Vet N/A class and see if I can bring home a trophy.

Pulled the floor out last night to figure out what I need to do to get the seat permanently mounted and it sort of snowballed into me moving all the wiring and computers under the seat over to the right and on top of the fuel tank......

Now that there is a giant hole in the drivers floor area mounting the seat will be easy peasy.....

And then I started looking at the shifter and the tubes it's mounted to and with a quick snip or three of the sawzall a bunch of weight fell out of the car.....

The rest of the parts I needed to remove the ABS unit and steel brake lines and get the dirt car poly stuff installed came in today. I was going to start ripping everything out tonight and like clockwork suddenly I have to go to Carlsbad NM for a 911 emergency rig repair at work.

One of the yard hands heard about your plans so they took the liberty of disconnecting a relay for you.

Those things are expensive and hard to find in metric.

I'm sure Catdogbear bolts are high quality.

If I read the listing correctly they are .99 for 4, I'll donate them to the build and you can test them?

 

[CarterKraft]

Let me know how big a sticker i can put on there

There's so many armchair experts on this site they're going to have to chime in to tell us how to test these bolts...

It's easy: put them in the race go cart, take it to a race and see if they break

Count how many ugga duggas from a turnt up impact gun before the head breaks off.

That's the best you can do?

I'm thinking put it in a hollow ram and push it apart, log the pressure with a camera on super slow mo

So send it to that guy with a YouTube channel that crushes things in a hydraulic press with slow mo videos.

Someone all ready did a test on those, torque test channel maybe.

Use them to bolt the new jack you built for your camper on and report back when they fail.

You know of a source that isn't China for metric titanium nuts and bolts? I'll probably be horrified by the prices if they do exist but I'd still like to look.

Hell ya, thanks!

Edit: Titanium lug studs, and suspension nuts and bolts would be pretty slick.

Buy one of those for testing and see if they are any stronger than the other China ones you ordered.

So you're saying you'll be happy to test it as long as somebody on here wants to foot the bill to get it to you...
