Ok guys,
The enrollment period is closed and it's time to pay up.
Deadline for payment is 8AM eastern time on Monday 02/11/2013.
I'll send reminder PMs this weekend.
Anyone who hasn't paid by the deadline will be dropped from the group buy.
This is only the first of two required payments.
Right now I'm only taking the amounts which will be sent to England for the items ordered and import shipping.
The second payment for delivery and seal kits will come after the order is placed with Jonesy.
Here is my personal Paypal address: racerchris@sbcglobal.net
Please select the Personal (no fee) option.

I sent a message to Jonesy today to get a better idea of turnaround time.
If the timing works out, I'm happy to ship your parts along with a fuel lines order at no additional charge.

Post 1 updated this morning.
Still NO response from 5 people. PMs were sent to them on Sunday.
Arty914 hasn't checked in since Jan 17th so I also sent an email thru the forum.
AFAIK the other 4 have been on since Sunday am and have seen this thread.

Are these already built, waiting to be shipped, or is he waiting for funds before he starts machining?
Posted by: lonewolfe Feb 6 2013, 03:21 PM
Well, it looks like 4 people still need to pay up! Come on folks! Pay up or drop out! Let's get this show on the road! You all knew the deal when you signed up for this!

Maybe he's machining them right now. :fingerscrossed:

I heard back from Jonesy.
He's already started making them and expects to ship about a week after receiving our payment.
Crossing the Atlantic will take about a week.

I say we let anyone who pays this weekend into the buy.
Prices are as follows:
1 taco plate = $45.97
1 Tunacan = $65.53
1 of each = $111.50
Quantities are already large enough that one additional order hardly affects the price.
Only if we reach another price tier will the adjustment be significant.
The exact price will only be determined when the transfer to Jonesy occurs.
I'll be adjusting for any changes in final per part pricing when the delivery and gasket payment amounts are finalized next week.

Waiting on one more payment before placing the order with Jonesy tomorrow.
Posted by: Racer Chris Feb 12 2013, 11:40 AM
Payment for 28 taco plates and 41 tunacans was just sent. Today's exchange rate is the lowest I've seen.
The approximately $40 left over is being rolled into the delivery payments.
I've adjusted the payment prices to reflect this.
For instance, the LA group will only pay $0.85 per person for delivery to Mark.
Individuals who are receiving both a tunacan and a tacoplate will pay $4.50 for delivery to your door.
Individuals receiving only one item will pay $5.50 for delivery.
02loftsmoor and Dasnowman - use the $8 shipping payment to cover Paypal fees taken from your first payment.
Canadian delivery will pay $19.75.
Add any number of gasket kits at no added shipping cost.
To pay for delivery:
go to http://www.tangerineracing.com/groupbuypage.htm
The pulldown menu contains 5 shipping price options and both seal kits.
Select the appropriate shipping option and add it to your cart, then go back and add any gaskets you want before checking out.
Feel free to browse my website and add other items to your order.
Any excess shipping payment will be promptly refunded.
I'll send out PMs as needed to 
people who need more motivation.
Posted by: timothy_nd28 Feb 12 2013, 11:53 AM
paid, thanks

Posted by: lonewolfe Feb 12 2013, 10:42 PM
Hey Chris! I just sent you payment of $15.85 for both seals and shipping for 2 items. My paypal is under hawknet@earthlink.net.
Thank you!

A couple of payments came in late. Added funds were sent to Jonesy for anoher taco plate and 2 more tunacans. Post 1 was updated.
Jonesy acknowledged receipt of payment and is working diligently on our parts.
I'm glad the delivery payment method is working.
Posted by: jim_hoyland Feb 13 2013, 09:19 AM
Second payment sent...
Posted by: clapeza Feb 13 2013, 10:10 AM
Chris,
I need a little clarification, please. If I need shipping for the taco plate and a set of seals for it, I order:
the seal kit: $8.75
plus shipping for 1 item: $5.50
or 2? $4.50
Making my total $14.25 or $13.25?
...or is it that shipping is PER ITEM, so ordering 2 items is actually $9, making my order total $17.75?
Chester
Posted by: euro911 Feb 13 2013, 10:45 AM
...
Posted by: Racer Chris Feb 13 2013, 11:22 AM
Chester, if you go to Chris's 'pay page', type your screen name in the box, your total will be displayed.
NO, that's not how it works Mark. I didn't set it up to be that sophisticated.
I only added the screen name window in case I needed reminding who is who.
Delivery price is based on items ordered from JOnesy.
The number of gaskets you want doesn't count. They ship at no added cost.
So for Chester the delivery payment is $5.50.
Posted by: euro911 Feb 13 2013, 11:25 AM
I may have under paid then 
LMK
I'll edit my previous post
Posted by: Racer Chris Feb 13 2013, 11:42 AM

Yeah,
You shorted me by the $0.85 LA group delivery price.
Tell one of your friends to pay it twice for you, lol.
Posted by: clapeza Feb 13 2013, 12:19 PM

Yes, I'm emailing invoices after I process the payment in Quickbooks.
Thats just an estimated shipping date. I don't have a date certain from Jonesy yet.

Payment for 28 taco plates and 41 tunacans was just sent. Today's exchange rate is the lowest I've seen.
The approximately $40 left over is being rolled into the delivery payments.
I've adjusted the payment prices to reflect this.
For instance, the LA group will only pay $0.85 per person for delivery to Mark.
Individuals who are receiving both a tunacan and a tacoplate will pay $4.50 for delivery to your door.
Individuals receiving only one item will pay $5.50 for delivery.
02loftsmoor and Dasnowman - use the $8 shipping payment to cover Paypal fees taken from your first payment.
Canadian delivery will pay $19.75.
Add any number of gasket kits at no added shipping cost.
I set up the pricing so Paypal can have their fees without me losing $$ in the deal.
Feel free to browse my website and add other items to your order.
Any excess shipping payment will be promptly refunded.
I'll send out PMs as needed to
people who need more motivation.
Just to reiterate -
To pay for delivery:
go to http://www.tangerineracing.com/groupbuypage.htm
The pulldown menu contains 5 shipping price options and both seal kits.
Select the appropriate shipping option and add it to your cart, then go back and add any gaskets you want before checking out.

My guess is those who haven't paid didn't read the pm yet.
I'll email those who still haven't paid, once I get a shipment confirmation from Jonesy.
There's no problem with a few late payers on this end of the deal because they won't hold up the rest of the group.
I can ship to everyone who has made the delivery payment as soon as the parts arrive.
Posted by: euro911 Feb 21 2013, 09:02 PM
C'mon guys ... you've all read your PMs regarding this
The message tracker says they guys on my portion of the list all read their PMs. (Yes, there's a message tracker feature for seeing if PMs are read). Only one of them is in the LA group.

Payment sent. Please ship to the address listed in my Paypal account. Thanks Chris.
Posted by: euro911 Feb 22 2013, 02:54 AM
For anybody who's saying, "hey, I paid for my stuff weeks ago" ... that was only the FIRST of TWO payments (for the aluminum Taco plate(s) and Tuna can(s) themselves).
The payment that's due now is for the US shipping from Chris to your home, and any gaskets you ordered.
If you haven't made your SECOND payment yet, please do so.
Thanks ...

I sent an email to Jonesy but haven't received a reply yet.
I guess the (estimated) ship date of 2/28 which I put on everyone's receipts was over-optimistic.

Hey Chris!
I thought I lost this thread. I had to really dig to find it again. What's the latest? Do you have an ETA for receiving our parts yet?
Let me know when you have a chance.

Still no ETA but I did hear from Jonesy last week.
He spent some time in the hospital recently but is back on the project.

He's getting our parts back from the plater this week, so should be shipping very soon.

I've just looked back at the post i put up and it shows that the files have been downloaded by a number of people, so i'm presuming you can download PDF files.
Can anyone confirm that for me please.
Posted by: r3dplanet Mar 29 2013, 01:45 AM
The files will show that they've been downloaded even if the download fails, which it does every time. That number you see more accurately reflects the number of download attempts.
There have been many mentions of this bug over the years on this forum. Since there is no ability to send attachments via personal messages either, then it usually defaults to sending documents directly via a user's e-mail address, or to a web link. If you can publish the document on some other website, then you can provide a URL to that address in a message here.
I'm just some random IT guy. I'm not an admin here so all I can do is observe.

Toshiba laptop running Windows 7 via Verizon FiOS. I think it auto sources Adobe for PDF downloads.

Posted by: 396 Apr 5 2013, 07:02 PM
Mine arrived today
Posted by: Valy Apr 5 2013, 07:49 PM
Got mine too but I think we have 3 issues:
1. The hole in the oil screen base needs to be wider for the adapter bolt to pass through - not a big issue, I'll just drill it bigger each time I change the screen.
2. The oil pickup tube extender is a bit too short. The tuna can depth extension is 28.5mm and there is an additional 1mm gasket (29.5mm total). The tube extender is 30.2mm in length so it only overlaps for 0.7mm with the tube. Practically, the oil-screen spring is the only thing keeping it in place. With a bit of vibration, it will get out and the pump will get oil from above the screen and tuna-can, making the upgrade void.
3. The pickup extension doesn't seal on the pickup tube. This means that the oil pump will suck oil/air from above the upper edge of the adapter. This actually makes the solution worst than the original since the oil level must be above the original pickup tube height minus the overlap. Quite the opposite to the purpose of the tuna can.
I'm open to solutions here. I would opt for a longer tube extender with some kind of sealant between the pickup and the extender but maybe someone has a better idea.

Posted by: Racer Chris Apr 6 2013, 01:25 PM
Chris, any suggestions?
I only took a quick look at the parts fitment with the strainer but I didn't get the sense that the extension sleeve was too short or that it could suck air from the slip joint at the top.
The sleeve fit on the pickup tube I checked was precise - I could move it by hand but not that easily.
I have a fresh engine nearly ready to take off the assembly stand that I can do a final assembly on and check for proper clearances.
I'll get some pictures and measurements for reference.
I'll also do a pressure test on the pickup tube to see if leakage is a possible issue.
Some kind of sealant could be used if there is slight leakage.
If one does not use a strainer screen I think the extension should be secured at a carefully set height off the bottom cover plate.

Here is the drawing with with two mounting options. Each has it own drawbacks as described in my previous post.
I'm no rocket scientist,but I perfer the first option. Chris, can way you can fab an 'extension' for the existing oil pick-up?.....maybe on the lines where one has to 'heat' the extension on the tube and let the extension shrink to fit.... sorry as there's another term for this.
Valy..many thanks for the drawing and noticing the "potential" concerns.
Posted by: euro911 Apr 6 2013, 06:49 PM
I haven't unwrapped my stuff yet, so I don't have a 'fix' to report.
The other style of tuna can I have has an internal o-ring to seal the extension tube against the original pick up tube, and it slides up onto the original tube more than 0.7mm.
Are you installing the sump with the OEM oil strainer screen, Val?
Maybe Neil needs to change the design of the extension tube to allow for more original tube coverage? ... and a sealing ring?
Posted by: Valy Apr 6 2013, 07:07 PM
I want to use the oil screen. I'll have to drill a bigger hole or maybe I'll extend the pickup bolt by 30mm so I can use the original nut.
The new nut doesn't seal on the screen bottom like the original so dirt from the bottom can be sucked back in the oil pump. That's an other issue with this but I think that the rod extension should be the easy part.
BTW, the added oil capacity is 190cc or 6.5oz.
Posted by: jonesy Apr 7 2013, 07:53 AM
Chris, any suggestions?
I only took a quick look at the parts fitment with the strainer but I didn't get the sense that the extension sleeve was too short or that it could suck air from the slip joint at the top.
The sleeve fit on the pickup tube I checked was precise - I could move it by hand but not that easily.
I have a fresh engine nearly ready to take off the assembly stand that I can do a final assembly on and check for proper clearances.
I'll get some pictures and measurements for reference.
I'll also do a pressure test on the pickup tube to see if leakage is a possible issue.
Some kind of sealant could be used if there is slight leakage.
If one does not use a strainer screen I think the extension should be secured at a carefully set height off the bottom cover plate.
I'm glad to hear some of you are happy with your parts, and really sorry to hear that some of you are not.
Hopefully I can explain, and give some peace of mind to those with concerns.
The oil pickup tube extender doesn't need to go to the bottom of the tuna can, it should have 5-6 mm between the bottom of the sump and the oil pickup tube.
So you can place the new oil pickup tube 5-6mm on the original tube (with some fluid gasket, like Loctite 755 - for extra sealing if you prefer) you may also wish to put a spot of weld on the tube.
Hope this helps.
Cheers,
Neil (Jonesy)

Is the flang supost to sit on top of the screen I'm not sure what I am looking at yet but am thinking of making a longer tube and brasing it to my pick up since my engine is in pieces Gordon

Neil,
The pickup tube extender is too short to have only 5-6mm to the bottom of the sump like the original pickup did. The tuna can takes that bottom 30mm lower and the tube extension is 30mm total length so any overlap with the old tube will bring the oil pickup point higher.
Did you intend to mount the tube extension with the longer side up or down (see the 2 drawings I posted earlier)?
Also, how long id the thread in the new special nut you supplied? Is it only few mm near the edge or does it go deeper?
Thanks.

We spent some time on the fitment issue yesterday, and took some pictures.
I haven't had a chance to write anything up yet though.
We completed an installation based on our findings. No changes were required but we did use a sealant on the extension tube and instead of one extra gasket we used the same sealant on the top side of the strainer screen flange.
Posted by: rdauenhauer Apr 13 2013, 04:19 PM
I messed around with this today.
I found the sealing area very tight on my PU, Im sure it varies from engine to engine.
I used a little 800 wet/dry on the bottom 2-3cm edge then some Curil to seal.

Thanks for the pix, Rich.
Looks like you hogged-out the hole in the strainer screen a bit ...
... did everything feel tight and in-place when you secured the can?
Posted by: Racer Chris Apr 13 2013, 07:16 PM
I've decided to shoot for 27.5mm total extension, set with the depth measuring feature of a digital 6" caliper I have.
That gives about 80 thou of engagement on the pickup tube.
We're using a thin film of Motoseal (Hondabond/Yamabond) to hold the extension at the set depth and to ensure no leakage.

Posted by: euro911 Apr 21 2013, 06:57 PM
I think Rich's post pretty much covers it. It looks like the only modification needed is to enlarge the orifice in the strainer screen.

I just installed the taco plate, what an improvement over the old style taco plate, haven't installed the tuna can yet. Taco plate is great
Posted by: ThePaintedMan Aug 7 2013, 09:04 AM
I really like mine. When I ordered mine, it was before anyone else here really knew about them and the group buy had not started yet. Thanks to you guys, when I put in the spare engine, I'll know how to add the strainer (currently it's not installed with this engine).
Chris - previously you mentioned Yamabond/Hondabond as the sealant of choice for the extension. Can I get away with Permatex Grey?
Posted by: Racer Chris Aug 7 2013, 09:08 AM
Permatex Motoseal 1 is just like Honda/Yamabond.

If you are still interested in ordering one, you can contact him directly at boatyardbuses@aol.com.
His handle here is jonesy, but for the life of my I can't remember his real name. Gotta ship it from the UK, but well worth it in my opinion.
I would like to see if he ever tweaks the taco plate to account for the fitment issues with the extension tube in the future.

I'm going to install the tuna can shortly. Any tips from those who have done this ?
The only part that confuses me is the installation of the pickup tube extension. It seems it was designed with the short end going down; even though the pickup end won't be at the bottom, it seems the sloshing and mixing would still allow the oil to circulate properly. Any comments here ?
Posted by: jim_hoyland Nov 4 2014, 07:16 PM
Does the new Taco Plate accomodate the stock sensor ?
Posted by: StratPlayer Nov 4 2014, 08:12 PM
No it takes a shorter version of the sensor..
Posted by: jim_hoyland Nov 4 2014, 09:33 PM
No it takes a shorter version of the sensor..
That's what I am concerned about: where can I shop for the replacement. I have a 911 oil temp gauge right now. Do the shorter sensors have a special designation ?
Any suggestions will be appreciated

Posted by: Philip W. Nov 5 2014, 08:58 AM
I am sure someone that has done these conversions with these parts can chime in here.....
I just received these and am getting ready to install and was going to put the same temp sender back in, so i an interested in the response to Jim's question as well. Why cant we use the same sender? AND what are the proper seals to use both on the taco plate/sender unit, and for the mini deep sump? - how does the pick up tube extension go in?

Cant answer for certain but the OE longer sensor was installed at an angle vs the new mount point directs that rod straight up.

I see it's M14 x 1.5. When I measured the ID of the new taco plate, I got 12mm that might be the ID including the threads. Am I wrong...?

I haven't ordered a new sensor yet, just going by what Jim posted above (post# 191).
I bought a bunch of neat stuff for the car(s), but gonna have to wait until the dead of winter sets in before I can get back to working on them.
Taking the Westy over to a friend's shop on Monday, letting him do some maintenance and upgrades that I don't have the time to do.

Excuse my ignorance, but what is a tuna can and a taco plate, what are they used for and what are the benefits of having them? Pics? I have heard about them but have no idea about them.
Posted by: Porschef Nov 8 2014, 07:32 AM
You'll need both if you wanna make tuna tacos... 
Ok with that out of the way, the can provides a reservoir for some more oil. It bolts up inder the engine, where the screen is now. I have one and haven't installed it yet cause I'm not sure how to mount the pickup. I guess I should find out.
The plate, I believe, is an updated version of what was available to carry a sender for the oil temp. Also bolts up under the engine. Next time you're under the car, you'll see the cover plates on the sump.

I'be noticed this driving twisty roads, the Green Oil Light flashes as the G-Forces build; for daily driving in traffic, probably no advantage. The new Tuna Can is well made and look good; haven't had an oil leak.
Posted by: Philip W. Nov 10 2014, 09:30 PM
Does this new tuna can work with a screen? The screen I ordered does no look like it will fit with this.
also I hve the gasket kit do I apply any additional sealant?
Planning on putting this in tomorrow.

Posted by: Philip W. Nov 10 2014, 09:51 PM
O.k so heres a picture of all the parts.
#1. Do iuse a gasket between the oil screenand the tuna can, and between the other side of the screen and the new bottom plate?
? What about between the tuna can and the oil pan?(car)
#2. Seems to me the copper gasket supplied would not stop leak at the center screw. Should some type of gasket sealant be applied there as well?

I was under the impression that 3 paper ring gaskets are needed: 1 between the case and the 'can', 1 above and 1 below the strainer flange.
My stock strainer 'bolt' always leaked, so I used red RTV on it - hasn't leaked since.

Thought so. I have 3 sets so I will be using 3. I did not install it yet as I just ordered my sensor and will be doing what jim is doing with the new taco plate and sensor install. Thought id do them both at the same time. Just needto figure out what to use as a gasket on the taco plate install
