will get most of those from demon tweeks. my oil return is different just a tapped hole on the block flange.

cant find em on tweeks

do you suggest block rather than sump for the return?

MAXIBOY

yes as it higher than a sump return thus less likely to get swamped by sump oil.

have you got a demon tweeks motor sport equipment catalogue. as there is loads in there not on the site.

whats the technical term for the bolt thing in your block. i may use them for the water feed/return on my turbo and for the oil return in the block.

the ones in the top pic are looking all too small for the water side of things

right demon tweeks use the term aluminium hose adaptors. outside diameter 25mm to 45mm with m10 or m14 threads.

Same place I told Coops for his couplings - a hydraulic hose place, a lot cheaper than Tweeks.

Forget 'Tweeks. As Nyk said, you'll get all of those at a hydraulics place. Try you local Pirtek.

yeah but the tweeks catalogue has a really good list of sizes and fittings with pictures commonly used in car/motorsport applications. once you,ve established what,s available/needed then you can ask for it at a cheaper outlet.

^^Good thinking, Batman.^^


BTW. The sump fitting is called a push-fit hose tail. The water fittings at the bottom are called banjos

Alternatively, go in with picture of what you want and say "Want that one!"

Yup don't go motorsport specific, will cost you an arm and a leg. A mentioned hydraulic places or make them up yourself. You often get decent Earls stuff for less than the cost of 'standard' braided lines.
