Default GGR oil separator

Hello!
Do you know if graham goode racing oil separator adaptors 3 ports are BSP or metric? and which size ( 3/8? 1/2?)

I think that hoses are -AN10 from exhaust side of the block and breather to atomosphere ; -AN8 for return to sump and -AN12 from admission side of the block.

But I don't know the thread and diameter on the separator to fit adaptors for goodridge hose fittings

Thanks !

The top of the oil separator has three threaded holes, two should be -10 size and one larger at -12 size.
The two -10 size holes are for the inlet to the separator from the engine, usually this is from the original place in the cylinder block below the inlet manifold, the second is taken from the base of the rear of the cylinder block on the exhaust side.
The larger threaded hole in the separator is the outlet, and although this is threaded to suit a -12 fitting we usually use a -12 to -10 reducer in here on road car engines, using a -10 hose from here to the oil catch tank

The oil return to the sump AN6!!

Thank you for your interest.

But but I need to know threads and diameters of the unions which are welded on the separator to fit adaptors for goodridge hose fittings : BSP to JIC or metric to JIC? And which size they are ( 3/8? 1/2?)



And on this image:



It seems that hoses are:
-AN10 x2 , one from exhaust side of the block and one for breather to atmosphere (or catch tank) ;
-AN8 x1 for return to sump and
-AN12 x1 from admission side of the block.

I don't understand ...

The hose sizes you've listed above are correct - that's what I used on my car. You need an adaptor for the exhause side on the block and an adaptor for the inlet side if you don't have them already.

As for the threads in the tanks, I just phoned GGR but their technical guys isn't in until Monday morning.

AN10 the original breather to oil separator
AN10 from the block to the other same thread of oil saperator
AN12 from the separator(bigger thread) to the oil catch tank atmosphere
The oil return sump is M14 to AN6!

*The threads of saperator are the same an10,an10,and an12,but you need adaptor for the bigger thread an12 to an10 as the oil catch tank have an10,i think all threads with AN are in inches!! i hope that helps
