Hi,

Anyone got any -8 AN oil cooler fittings they want to move on, preferably fir tree type?

Also require 2m of the blue Aeroquip push on hose if anyone has any spare (1/2''

Many thanks,

Mark

Be careful mixing AN and JIC. AN is 45 degree flare and JIC is 37 degree, sometimes they'll seal on each other, sometimes they won't.

FWIW, I've always found the industrial hydraulic shops are a good source for this stuff. Their fittings are less "bling", cad plated steel or occasionally stainless, but much less expensive than motorsports shops.

Cheers, Ted

Thanks for your comments. I was aware that there are different angles but I have spoken to the guys at Speedflow and was told all JIC/AN oil fittings should be 37 degrees. Some brake fittings might be 45 degrees?????

AN and JIC are 37 degree, SAE flares are 45 degrees.

Do not mix and match.....
