I'm trying to figure out the best way to connect to the factory bypass/thermostat in the rear fenderwell with AN16 braided hose. The obvious answer is a fitting that used to be manufactured by Earl's. It is a 90 degree tube type fitting, 30 x 1.5mm female swivel and inverted flare to connect to the thermostat, and AN16 hose on the other end. A friend has some of these but is unwilling to part with them since Earl's no longer makes them (?!). I have gotten some straight adapter fittings that are two piece with a nipple and swivel from B.A.T., but the design limits the i.d. of the fitting so much that it's pointless to use AN16 hose. I have considered drilling or milling out the fitting a little, but would rather find a more sound solution if possible. To mind, two other options are available. Some aluminum weld type male AN16 nipples could be welded directly to the thermostat. Lastly, I am considering having the thermostat's ends threaded to accept an adapter that has 1-3/16 x 12 n.p.t. female threads. It looks like this is a possible solution. Any other ideas or sources for these Earl's fittigs is appreciated.

Thanks Bill, they've been on backorder at Pegasus for a long time, unfortunately.

I'd call Racer Parts Wholesale, in Indiana. They have a lot more fittings in stock than their web page shows.

The threads on the Porsche thermostat are 30mm * 1.0 pitch. Call Pegasus. The ones in the catalog are 1.5 pitch.
Which are the threads on the other end at the cooler or hoop. BTDT.



The 1.5 pitch are for going from the end of your brass lines the AN .....
