Oil cooler hose sizes....???
What size is recommended for a Stage 3 Cossie setup using an air to oil cooler???
The Rad I have has 1/2" Bsp connections but my existing system uses 5/8".
I accept that 5/8" is probably the best option, but I want to use a Stat so am stuck as to how to connect the 1/2" Bsp cooler to the existing 5/8".....
Ive looked to see if anyone makes a hose connection that screws onto the 1/2" but which then has a hosetail that fits 5/8" hose but no luck so far........
Failing that ive looked for a female 1/2" Bsp to female 5/8" adaptor but no luck there yet either...........
Ive also emailed the likes of Mocal and not had a response.
Hoping somebody on here as sufficient experience of Oil cooler systems to be able to help.
Cheers

Might have to look at selling it if there's no other way around it.

Right, think Ive solved it............
Apparently I can get a Thermostat that is like a sandwich plate, which can go between the filter and housing on the remote filter housing.
This has 2x outlets which can straight to the Oil cooler.
£7 for 2x aluminium weld on 5/8" Bsp fittings, and then i'll be able to use 5/8" hose and fittings...........
