Oil Line Thread Size

[Billy-G]

Anyone know the thread type/size on the oil pipe where it screws into the block behind the oil filter?

I'm having some new pipe made up, and the Pirtek chappy needs to know what to put on that end.

m20 comes to mind, but not 100% sure so dont quote me on that.
can you not take that said piece to them for measuring.?

Cheers Raj, and yeah, could do, but i'm not where the car is at the moment!

It'd been nice just to drop in and get them done on the way home later :)

Billski, can you drop me a pm with the price when you get them sorted? - im going to need some soon.

To you mate, free.

I can make you up some hoses if you like, you just need to supply the right size couplings to make them fit. Cost you about a tenner max from Pirtek.

I have 50 feet of armoured stainless hose, the crimping tool etc sitting in front of me.

You want me to drop them to you at Nat Day?

Top man :)

That would be good. I'll sort the connectors out soon... depends on what happens this afternoon. ECP reckon they can get me a R11 turbo rad... I have a feeling it wont be right, and, if its not i'll be taking either the GTT rad route (oil cooler inlet + outlet on different side to 11 rad) or the seperate oil cooler route.... decisions decisions...

Just made your hoses up Tim; I'l do you a pic of them when I get home.

Edited to add pic.

Anyone else needs a set, shout now.
