WTB: Oil line fittings for turbo, oil lines, etc.
« on: May 02, 2010, 11:14:41 pm »
I would like to know a good source to buys some metric oil line fittings.  I am needing to fab some oil cooler lines, and turbo oil lines, but can't find a local source.  I have read the F@Q section and saw some sizes.  I would also be interested in buying oil line fittings that you may have lying around. 
Let me know,
Thanks

Hello Familydiesel, For my turbo supply line i took my turbo to a shop that makes hyd. hoses. they set me up with the right fitting for the turbo and oil filter adapter and a  3 ft.-4an line braided line for 35.00 for my turbo the turbo oil supply line fitting was a 12x1.5 to -4an if i remember. it all depends on what turbo you have.

Yeah, I did the same for my oil return line, but the shop had to silver solder US fittings to make up the hose.  We don't seem to have anyone local that works with metric hose fittings other than some hydrolic fittings, but even these guys told me to go to a radiator shop to get what I needed.  So, I would like to know a vendor or would like to buy some fittings from people here.  I will post sizes and specific types if needed.  Thanks
