Can someone explain hose fittings and types?
Discussion
Hey guys,
I am coming to the end of my intercooler install in my RX7. The last part requires me to bend the metal oil pipes in order to fit the radiator. The only pipe that is causing issue is the one that connects the two oil coolers together (they on the left and right of the front bumper).
Instead of bending the pipes and causing issues I thought about changing it to a flexi hose, that way I can just move it out the way and secure it with cable ties.
The problem I have is it seems a whole new world of hose types, connectors and so on.
I have found out that the thread of the oil coolers are M22x1.5 and the recommended hose size is -10.
Am I right in thinking I need the following:
2 x Female M22x1.5 to -10 connectors (to go into each oil cooler)
2 x Male -10 connectos
Some hose.
Any ideas on where the best place is to get it all and what the best hose would be to use?
Sorry for all the questions.
