The OE plate is certainly metric but can't remember the exact size I'm afraid, M14 x 1 seems to ring a bell but can't be 100% sure. I bought some fittings from Think a few years ago for the same job. Will have a dig tomorrow.

I couldn't find the oil cooler pipes for the life of me, turned my parents garrage upside down hunting for them!

Found an old plate though and measured that instead! M18 x 1.5 so was close 1st time round :rolleyes:

Plenty of choice in fittings, I went for a male to male threaded adapter in the plate, then used 1/2" push on fittings to make life easier fitting / removing.

Have these spare that may be of use, if you want them send an sae with a token couple of quid and i'll post them back
