For the later type oil cooler, perhaps purchase 3/4" (19.05mm) diameter 180 degree aluminium or stainless beaded bend to bypass here.
Choose size and bend angle from list here https://www.autosiliconehoses.com/al...nium-tube.html
I don't know what the internal bore of the early type connection to the oil cooler is at present I'm afraid. |
Cheers Typhoon, yep I can see exactly where you mean and thanks for the link to the items.
BTW why do you prefer this method as opposed to the connection at the oil cooler, is it to avoid leaving the cooler "open"
If it makes a difference this will only be a temp fix as I think Ill need the oil cooler reconnected to the coolant as its needed on my Auto.
Thanks
Paul
