Those fittings , and elbows you made for the oil return for the turbo, can you give detail's like the size thread you cut in the oil pan, the size elbow you used tin the pan, with that male end for the pipe to screw on to. Great work, i have a cure for those leaking V-bands!

Damn MOD bug hit me now that the trans is getting replaced.

That is a brass fitting that I picked up from ACE hardware. It has a female end on both sides. I just picked up a small male to male fitting for the oil pan and then put the brass elbow onto that.

Whatever -10 converts to in inches is what it is. I bought that piece about 3years ago so its kinda hard to remember.

How did you end up resolving the v-band leaks?

While I had some minor issues with the steering knuckle it appears your pipes are different than mine.

Guessing the quality of the work has gone down hill for the kit.
