Need help with swivel end connectors for oil lines
I'm trying to duplicate the original look of the oil lines in my Cobra. I have an oil cooler and remote filter. I found Aeroquip Starlite hose to be close to original (I took out the red tracer) and now I am searching for the correct ends.
I am looking for AN 10 on one end and 1/2" pipe thread on the other.
I have called Jegs, Summit, all the usual suspects and these seem to be very hard to find.
Anyone have any leads on where I might be able to get these?
BTW, I am looking for a non-colored end such as grey or silver. |

call Shelby American in Las Vegas. They sent me the exact fittings you're looking for when I purchased my CSX.

Be careful mixing one brand of hose with another brand of connector.

#829010 1/2 NPT -10 90 deg. AN to Male pipe threads

Find a hydraulic supply house in your town
Walk into any large hydraulic supply house (every city has one) and you will be amazed with all of the fittings and hoses they have on the shelf. Take what you have with you and they can match it up.

I read a post a while back about this. On a GT-40, the builder was doing the exact same thing. He used standard anodized blue/red fittings. He removed the anodizing with oven cleaner. It gave the finish the correct patina, and looked really good in the pictures. I have not tried this.

I believe the original hose ends were sourced from Weatherhead. (?)

428,
I used Startlite hose and Aeroquip nickel finish fittings.
The only problem is that originals used dash 12, not dash 10. That's what makes 'the look' and the non swivel 90's on the cooler. See Sal Manella's gallery.
