On another note, it's damned hard to find threaded tailends/hose barbs, with a metric thread.
I'm chasing a pair of 3/8 hose barbs with a m14 x 1.5 thread. I want to replace the quick connect fittings on the auto trans oil cooler lines and run hose all the way through to cooler. Both quick connect fittings are weeping. And after all the "quick fixit" jobs on the cooler lines in the past and fitting the cooler, it all looks a bit .... ordinary.
So, I figured I would renew it all and get rid of the leaky bits at the same time. Also, running hose to the trans makes it easy to chop and change with gauges for the trans temp, regards pre and post cooler.
