It's a shiny work of art that would be good on my mantelpiece. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
simonpelly Posted February 21 Share Posted February 21 Perhaps once peeps have their shiny new plates and EGTs installed, we could collect and have a data sharing session? Defender model, engine type, speeds, gears, revs, workload, temps, etc... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stellaghost Posted March 12 Share Posted March 12 @stevebus and @92a on the egr probe bits I made you, I tapped to full depth of thread available on tap however, when @Peaklander came to fit his egr fitting it would not tighten up as ran out of thread, this may vary with fittings....as of writing I don't know In order for @Peaklander's to fit he carefully ground off a coup!e of threads on the fitting I made, this allowed his fitting to then tighten up fine, if either of you have an issue I would recommend you do this first Any future ones I make will not be tapped to full depth of tap Apologies for any inconvenience I've caused Regards Stephen 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
