Default need to order part quick. but where?



okay for the return oil line from the turbo on a TTi street kit, this 90 degree bend with a barb was provided. I tapped the pan but now the thread i used on the tap (18) doesn't match up with this provided peice. I Need to order a new one with the proper thread, anyone know where I can get this? the peice is 5/8 on both ends. this one provided is more like 20 or 22 threads per inch, i need an 18. the tap i used is out of my friends standard plumbing set. ive been to the local plumbing places and to every regular hardware store in a 30 mile circle. PLEASE!!!!! internet web sites with fast shipping welcome.

Try a Hydraulic Supply company or a truck and tractor place. I know you guys have farms out there, I've been in that area. More than likely the easiest answer will probably be just going to a bigger fitting with std. thread sizing and re-tapping the hole. Stop doing stuff the quick way like using a buddy's Plumbers tools! Take your time with the install...it will come.

EDIT add: NPT (National Pipe Thread)

Jegs also has AN to NPT fittings... check them out.

whats weird is one of the other fittings for my relocated power steering lines fits on this new 5/8's thread like a glove. only problem is its for power steering and isnt a 90 bend. so that lead me to believe their is a chance i can find something to work.
