  • Hi everyone,

    As you all know, Coffee (Dean) passed away a couple of years ago. I am Dean's ex-wife's husband and happen to have spent my career in tech. Over the years, I occasionally helped Dean with various tech issues.

    When he passed, I worked with his kids to gather the necessary credentials to keep this site running. Since then (and for however long they worked with Coffee), Woodschick and Dirtdame have been maintaining the site and covering the costs. Without their hard work and financial support, CafeHusky would have been lost.

    Over the past couple of weeks, I’ve been working to migrate the site to a free cloud compute instance so that Woodschick and Dirtdame no longer have to fund it. At the same time, I’ve updated the site to a current version of XenForo (the discussion software it runs on). The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.

    Unfortunately, the new software version doesn’t support importing the old site’s styles, so for now, you’ll see the XenForo default style. This may change over time.

    Coffee didn’t document the work he did on the site, so I’ve been digging through the old setup to understand how everything was running. There may still be things I’ve missed. One known issue is that email functionality is not yet working on the new site, but I hope to resolve this over time.

    Thanks for your patience and support!

Lock wiring zipty breather tank

Can anyone advise the best way to lock wire this bit. I'm not sure what the little piece of metal is for? Is there enough meat on the outer edges?

 
Hi, I don't know what Lock Wiring is but that 90 degree bend looks like the attachment that came with my Zipty Breather to connect onto a step down threaded adapter that screwed one end into the oil drain plug and the other onto the attachment that you're holding . The oil cooler then had a hose that ran to the oil drain plug via the attachment that you're holding.

I don't know if that makes any sense?
 
I think the pin retains the nut in position on the elbow. You can drill a hole in a similar location for lock wire if you wish, just keep it small. I've ran this kit without lock wire on this nut, on my 511 all year with no loosening issues.
