Does anyone know what size the fittings are on the oil cooler? I think it's a 10 row cooler but need to know what thread size they use!

I don't know who supplied the cooler and I can't measure it as the old hose fittings sheared the fittings on the oil cooler |

I would imagine so with sheared fittings.. Would be good to have the same thread size as before! I know your going to say it doesn't matter as I can order a new cooler and fittings for an 11mm id hose however I want to keep with the original spec so it's the same as everyone else's |

Nope their much smaller think they have adaptors from 1/2" bsp down to something half the size.... Think it's a 9 row cooler can check If you want but don't have a decent thread gauge here to check the rest for you... Might be in here but I doubt it... http://www.lynxpowerengineering.co.uk/sckitguidelines.pdf ________________________________________ Black power baby!

I "think" it's a 10 row cooler with 1/2 bsp fittings that are then stepped down to an8/jic 8 fittings as the hose is 11mm/ 7/16! |

Armz, measure the thread diameter and I'll tell you what it is while I'm here with my zeus book. I didn't realise they stepped down. ________________________________________ See the sheer power and might of the lesser known burrowing owl. |

A Zeus book is not much help.... We know that the fitting is smaller than 1/2 and I can't find any coolers that have a smaller take off than 1/2" The I.d of the original hose is 11mm or 7/16 which is an-8 which you can get a step down from 1/2" - an8 |

Surely they will step down to a bsp thread. It's probably stepped down to a 3/8 BSP or 1/4 BSP. The zeus book charts for Armz to measure what his steps down too. ________________________________________ See the sheer power and might of the lesser known burrowing owl. |

You would assume so but I can't find any 3/8 fittings on eBay and no way would it be 1/4 BSP it's way too small! |

I'll make the hoses my self I just didn't want to have too smaller fitting and restrict the oil flow, I think if I use the same I.D hose as standard which is 11mm so 7/16" which is the same as AN-8 hose I can then get a 10 row 1/2 BSP cooler with step down to AN-8. Job done  |

That don't sound a problem. Hope it all goes well fella. Just check the hole diameters in the fittings are not too restrictive and you should be onto a winner. ________________________________________ See the sheer power and might of the lesser known burrowing owl. |

Just spoke to tts and apparently the cooler is a 10 row -6 jic fitting!To double check I had a look at my new filter and it's got 5/16 written on it so that would tally up with the -6 fitting Time to spend more money  |

What a stupid old skool thread choice. I'm a toolmaker and have never machined that thread. People nearly always want BSP or NPT. Well, at least you now know mate.________________________________________ See the sheer power and might of the lesser known burrowing owl. |

It's because most aero fittings are jic/an so it makes it easier to make your own braided lines up |
