TransOil tube extensions.HELP NEEDED!!

[Olle B]

Since I admire you technical skill on this board I need to ask this simple Q!!

I will add a transcooler after the original cooler built in on my E-body´s 26" radiator.
I think its a shame to cut the existing tubes,, but I still need a male and a female to add the cooler.
Can I find those connectors at any of the big suppliers store?
Do you have a better solution to share?
I really need an article nr or what thread we are talking about!

Ive planned to conect the new cooler with AN6 Steel braided hose.

HOW??


Hope for an answer..
Best Regards Olle

The thread size in the bottom radiator tank is 1/8" National Pipe Thread (NPT). If the fitting in the tank is removed and installed in the steel tube, you will have one female 1/8" NPT and one male 1/8" NPT and these can easily be converted to AN6.

John, is he talking about the 5/8 flared nuts that screw onto the radiator fittings? He could use the original input and make a "U" out the radiator into the auxilliary cooler and then extend the output to the original return line with a coupler or a longer return line altogether.

Yes thats exactly what I intended to do!
I will try to use both ends of the original metaltubes,, the first is still connected to the radiators built in oilcooler.

The second will be connected by a coupler from the added oilcooler.
I need one coupler on the out of original radiator cooler to the new added cooler.
I also need one to attach the original tube free hanging end,, (the return from the new.)

I can use a steel braided hose and clamps,, that will do even if aerogrip or fancy coupler would have looked nicer!

Is this the items to use?
