Post Metric oil line adapters

Does anyone know where to purchase metric hose end adapters here in the US. Specifically I need a 30mm female 120 degree bend and a 30mm straight that will crimp or connect to a -16 hose.

I think the best route is to get the metric adapters from someplace like Pegasus, or BAT performance, then do the rest of the plumbing using AN fittings

I'm trying to avoid the adapter route as I'd just like to install the correct metric ends on the line.

I've never seen the size fittings/shape your looking for. I used an adapter to -AN fittings when installing a front air dam oil cooler in line with the factory fender oil cooler on two
P-Cars, which can be had by Aeroquip, Goodridge and Earls. It certainly would make your life easier. Also what about your st st braided hose. I've never seen it in metric sizes either.

I'm not trying to discourage you from your search. Just some thoughts. Good luck.

Regards,
Jim

My guess is that the metric sizes and components I'm looking for are probably fairly common in Europe where they use a "real" measuring system. I guess I'll have to settle for the adapters.

Pegasus racing has 'em and they are quite nice.

The 911 uses two short (6 inch) flex hoses to connect the brass oil lines to the Carrera style fender mount cooler.

Obtain one of these hoses, cost about $25. Cut off the crimp that retains the swagged on fittings. Voila. You now have two metric fittings that you can have swagged onto your new hose at a local hydraulic shop. They will be straight though.
