anyone know what size AN fitting the ports are on an XB oil cooler? | ||
| Ericz |
They are not AN spec fittings. AN have 37 degree flares and the XB oil coolers use 45 degree flares. | ||

thanks for the info- any idea on where to getting fittings? do they have a certain name? | ||

I've been curious about this too. If the flair angle is not a universal type of some kind, all a person would have to do is to have some very quick and cheap machine work gone to an existing flairing tool in order to start a business now that they ended Buell. | ||

I believe 45 degree is pretty standard stuff. Murf | ||

ANY Good Hydraulic shop should have all you need. We carried 37 & 45 deg stuff in stock at all times. We even had conversion links. buell=45 deg (standard fittings) see http://www.aeroquip.com for fittings and ect. then find a dealer near you. | ||

JIC fittings have a 37 degree flare. SAE fittings have a 45 degree flare. Each fitting type uses a metal to metal sealing surface. Occasionally these fittings leak or weep do to minor scratches, knicks or other imperfections. You can easily and cheaply seal these fittings with a FlareTite fitting seal, (www.flaretite.com). Most hydraulic shops carry fitting seals. |
