im having trouble locating the parts i need for my oil system, ill explain what im trying to do and then hopefully some of you guys can recomend parts and places to get em.

 

standard T3 with the braided oil feed line, 13 row oil cooler with the thermostat to regulate the temp of the oil - i have these parts but linking them to the block where the braided also needs to accomodate smith gauges for oil temp and oil pressure.

 

im a bit puzzled on what to do to link it all together so any guidence would be greatly appreciated as brighton swiftly approaches - id love it if there were places to buy these products was mentioned too

 

cheers

What I did for all my oil hoses was find out the threads of everything, go to a local hydraulics shop with a badly drawn diagram and say 'I need these hoses and these adapters' most places will have everything you need.

Hydraulic or pneumatic fittings for plumbing in turbos. You can find supplier's catalogues online with the tech specs G1/8, G1/4 etc equates to 1/8bsp....

 

For your cooler I'd just buy a Clubman fitting kit off one of the mini specialists and cut the hoses to suit your 'stat. Rubber hoses are well up to the job and more flexible, but if you want fancy 'n shiny you could get a hydraulic hose specialist to swage the ends.

As above, just take all the bits and say... 'make it all fit together'.
