Hi all,

I've taken the oil cooler off of my car at the mo and want to connect the 2 pipes from the block and oil filter housing together for now.

Does anyone know what size the connections on the pipes are i have a feeling they are 1/2"BSP is this correct? And will i need any special type of back to back connector or will i get away with a plumbing type one?

Cheers Matt

Im pretty sure they are 1/2" Bsp on most generic oil coolers.
