turbo oil feed
Turbo Mini Forums

i have the Goodrich braided oil feed from iain and have lost one of the blue connectors, its the one that goes from the blue T-piece into the braided line, i have emailed Goodrich and have no reply yet, can anyone else tell me where i can go to find one and exactly what to ask for?

thanks. Dan

If Iain can't help you (sure he will) then try Merlin Motorsport. They keep a huge stock of Goodrich

Every day is a school day ...........

How fast and how expensive ...... the same question...

i PM'd iain and no reply yet, i guessed he was busy so asking here now. will try merlin. thanks roger!

The other option is Think Automotive, I've used them several times in the past and they's always been really good.

avonbar sorted me out with spare bits for the oil supply after that nonce from www.minipart.co.uk sent me a loads of wrong fittings. only a couple of quid posted too...

"Turbo's make torque, and torque makes fun"

"did you know you can toast potato waffles?"

If its the 1/8 bspt male to 1/8 bspt male fitting, ive got loads kicking around. There brass instead of Aluiminium, tbh the aluminium ones seemed a bit feeble so I fitted the brass instead!

Pm me your address I'll ship one from work 2mo.

right, i have had a look on think automotive s site and it looks like they will be able to help me, apart from i cant seem to describe it very well, does anyone have a picture of the part i am missing or know the techy name for it?

thanks:) Dan

Hi,
I believe they are called barrel nipples. With the thread on the outside that would be a male one.....?
You'll need to know thread type and size to order one, I don't know them though :(
Cheers,
Gavin :)

thank you so much! thats the bit i need! i don't suppose anyone would be able to tell the the thread sizes? its such a small part thats stopping the engine from even turning over!!!

thanks! Dan

I may be wrong but i think that threads are 10x1mm thread on one end and on the other end it is -3 Aeroquip fitting. If this is the case then i have loads in my drawer at work, so if you are still after one i can get it from work on monday and get it in the post to you.

Send me a Pm or email and let me know,

Luke

because everyone has been so amazingly helpful in this thread and my others, coming to the finish of my project, i will donate to turbo minis, who do i send a PM to to sort this as iain still hasn't replied to mine? :)

luke - PM sent :)

thanks. Dan

Sorry mate, the one i sent you was the one in the original photo. All becomes clear with the photos now! Lol

I may have the other fitting that goes on the between the Tee and the hose?

I think its a 1/8 bspt male to 5/16 JIC. Any chance you could measure the internal thread size of the Hose?

luke would you be so kind, if you have another one to send it? i will be more than happy to pay for a jiffy bag if thats what it takes to get it here safely.

thanks. Dan :(

What is it with people luck lately?

It seems like anything that can go wrong has in the last few weeks.

i wouldn't say that. i have had fantastic luck lately (maybe i will jinx it, but i am not superstitious anyway.. lol

and i will donate soon, i am waiting for a statement to verify my paypal account..

thanks, Dan

I will get another one in the post to you tomorrow, typical with the one i sent, i should have put it tin a jiffy bag the first time. This time i WILL put it in a jiffy bag, then hopefully you can get it all finished. You should have it for the weekend then.

Thanks
Luke
