Richy B Posted September 14, 2010 Share Posted September 14, 2010 Whilst our truck was in for a rebiuld and auto box last winter, a larger cooler was plumbed in to the g/box ( with a leccy fan on a temp switch) I think the garage used a company called pirtek, Who made um up from scratch, I dont know how much they were though, sorry, Hope you have some sucess soon though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bishbosh Posted September 14, 2010 Share Posted September 14, 2010 Get a long length of ATF resistant hose, some bayonet fittings and some proper hose clamps (not jubilee clips!) and make your own. IIRC the box itself is M16 but it has an adaptor screwed into it. Just unscrew the adaptor and take it to a hydraulics place. They can then supply an adaptor to suit the pipe fittings they will also supply you... if that makes sense.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
landy V8 Posted September 14, 2010 Share Posted September 14, 2010 go and see Pirtek.they'll swage any fittings for you.should'nt be too expensive. Cost me £10 for high pressure line swaged onto original fittings on the power steering Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zim Posted September 14, 2010 Share Posted September 14, 2010 Our local tractor place had all the fittings in when i made my lines. Metric i think went into the hp22, but i'm sure another hp22 was 1/2" bsp. G Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chris_oakley Posted September 14, 2010 Author Share Posted September 14, 2010 Pirtek was useless wanted to use the original nut, brace my end on to there fittings and charge me £130 for the privilage, they wouldnt swag my ends atall, totally out of the question. il have a look at the adapter route 2morow.

jbs Posted September 15, 2010 Share Posted September 15, 2010 The last time I used Pirtek- a few years ago now I went on a saturday morning about 11 am and asked them to do some swaging for cash it was for some oil cooler pipework off of a disco 200 tdi conversion into a 110 they did it for me £20 cash John Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
forkrentfitter Posted September 15, 2010 Share Posted September 15, 2010 where in norfolk are you,niel who runs hoseflex in bury st edmunds will make the hoses up for you and not charge pirtek gold plated prices,alternatively amber hydraulics in felixstowe are also highly recomended,chris.

red90 driver Posted September 19, 2010 Share Posted September 19, 2010 David Llama is your salvation. He has made up autobox to cooler hoses V8 serpentine to remote oil filter to TDi rad hoses Power steering hoses.. He was not cheap, but we got what we paid for, good quality hoses, with a sensible approach to fittings. He came out to us and measured up as they were all specials (Whitbread buggy, engine moved back 14.5") with a 200TDi rad. Have a look at the Llama 4x4 site to get his number and then give him a ring.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Range Rover Blues Posted September 20, 2010 Share Posted September 20, 2010 HP22 are IIRC imperial which would explain the 7/8 nut on it. The pipe itself is 16mm or 18mm on later ones and the P38 HP22/24. My Kenlowe rad is simply spliced in to the steel pipe, I didn't need the pipe swading as the cooling systme is low-pressure, around 1 bar I'm told. The length of pipe in steel is calcuated as a cooling surface though so if you replace with rubber it won't cool as much. You may also find 2 different types of adapter in the hp22, one used O rings and the earlier one looks like a single flare. That's when I found out the adapter is 7/8 and a ring spanner didn't fit qithout filing a tiny bit of the casing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
