bulk head fittings
So I'm installing some aluminum bulkheads. Do the nylon fittings go inside or outside or both?
Shown below I have them inside.

After looking up I see some people having it on both sides.Usual Z31 suspect: Garage Queen (aka broken)

Yeah i would agree. You might be able to get away with them on just the inside. Might as well get progressive for that shit. -

I always put mine on both sides. Mine ended up becoming brittle and cracking. I'm not going to blame it on E85, but it was the E85.85 Z31 6.0 LSX turbo 766whp/792wtq

I can't imagine you need it on both sides, it just means you lose tightening torque with more compressible material, possibly leading to overtightening… maybe with extra large washers to spread the load more I'd consider it
That said, I don't believe you need it on both sides to seal effectively, placing it on the cleaner inside makes more sense, but I have to ask, why not copper crush washer at that point? -

Nylon crushes too and will be fine for what I'm doing.Usual Z31 suspect: Garage Queen (aka broken)

Get rid of bulk heads, weld bungs. After they get brittle and fall apart you will try to figure out where that fuel smell is coming from.89' Turbo-R.I.P. (scrapped)

For sealed electrical connections I'm going to get a m8 nylon screw and tap it for m6 or m5 stud. Then use a nylon lock nut with some sealant to seal together. Anyone have a better solution that won't be electrical plugs from summit that are 1 1/4" thick.Usual Z31 suspect: Garage Queen (aka broken)
