You need an M18 -4AN adapter from Think Auto.

Its the one on the left of this pic:

legend!

many thanks!!

[cantfindausername]

No probs mate.

[T.F.S.]

i dont suppose you know the thread size for the oil return on the block do you?

[cantfindausername]

M28 - and its on the sump, not the block.

Think Auto again for that one

[Shmed]

Digging up an old thread, but do the adapters need gaskets?

[Steve-m-uk]

Would have thought some PTFE tape around the threads would do the trick, thats what i do on my oil connections etc and have no leaks

[Shmed]

I've got a pot of Loctite thread seal, will that do?

[Shmed]

Note It is thread sealant, not lock and seal

[Shmed]

Just spoken to Think Auto and they say they haven't got anything that goes from M28.

Are you sure this is right?

MMA2-12-16
-12JIC x M28x1.5- aluminium
£10.54 (Excluding VAT at 17.5%)

Do a search on Thinkauto site for M28.

They didn't know much about it when I ordered it either

[Shmed]

I'm getting onto them again. See what happens.

Has that dough arrived yet Ant?

Cheers

They should be able to sort it. If not, try Earls.

Yeah money has arrived. Hadn't this morning when I checked so glad I checked again. Will get the clutch picked up on monday

[Shmed]

I tried Earls first but they don't have either adapter (-4AN to M18 or -10AN to M28). The guy there pointed me to Think Auto, so fingers crossed they can get that part.

When I transferred the cash, I saw a screen I don't normally see, but didn't read it (click happy). I think it was saying something about the funds not clearing straight away.

Anyway, glad you have it (as glad as I ever am when parting with my hard earned...) .

[cantfindausername]

Well you've helped me clear the final big part from my car so you can be happy in that knowledge at least lol.

I don't think you'll find a M28 -10AN adapter, the Thinkauto one is -12AN.

[Shmed]

That was indeed a 12AN one. They also sell 12JIC to 10JIC converters

Not ideal, but I guess I should've ordered -12AN oil return pipe.

Oh well.

[cantfindausername]

I've got some -10 hose and fittings if you need any?

[Shmed]

Cheers, I've got a 14" -10AN hose and have just ordered the -12JIC to M28 and the -12Jic to -10Jic adapter so don't need any of those ta.

If you have a shorter piece of -4AN, that'd be handy, I have some, but it is 3 foot long A little too long for the oil feed......

[cantfindausername]

just get a dremmel on it and make it shorter. I've got some -4 coming for a remote oil pressure sensor, but not sure how much of it I'll need yet. What sort of length are you after?

I know I've got an oil feed line already made up with head shield and the works that I never used. Just need to find it out really. Will have a look for that tonight too. Its about 16-18" long IIRC.
