Re: Really confused. Bloody threads/fittings

I cannot fathom using the gauge at all. Take -6 fitings, the catalogue says they are BSP 3/8 but my gauge measures the thread perfectly as 5/16.

I guess I wont get much feedback on this so while youre here, to put it another way, how do you connect a serc oil cooler with 7/16 thread and o/d 22.5mm fittings to -10 hose?

This is why people buy kits isn't it!:boohoo:

There are dozens of different threads about.
The easiest way, to save any confusion, is to find your nearest hydraulic type supplier and take all your parts to them. They should be able to sort you out.
