Thread size of hose tail for PAS rack return feed

[Pupp]

Anyone know the thread size and type of the barbed hosetail on the rack that the return to the reservoir fits on? I'm guessing it might be 1/2 BSP without having extracted it - would like to replace with a banjo (left the hard lines alone in the end as they reshaped ok but the straight out return is too long/in the way

Fairly sure it's 1/4" BSP, and as I explained previously you are likely to also need a m-f adapter/extension to raise the flange enough to get a banjo fitting in there (the tappings on the rack are quite close together)

Daves right my pipes are all off at the moment and a 1/4 BSP airline fitting spun straight in on the LP side like mentioned I reckon you need that riser too Gary

Thanks - just the info I need; I remember the issue with the proximity of the various ports. At least it's a common enough thread

Heads up Gary not long purchased these for the workshop airline alteration Ebay item number 200575630431

Thanks Simon - having had a better look tonight, the hosetail that is fitted seems a real long-un; currently thinking it might lend itself to being shortened somewhat without losing decent location for the hose, which will do the job if so. If not, something like one of those extensions should enable a banjo to be used instead

Or you could fit a right angle BSP fitting if its hose avoidance/relocation your after

The current outlet points right at and is close to the cold side housing on the turbo - just kinks the hose but won't if a tad shorter. I'll drain it down and have a gander at the weekend
