verminhunter Posted December 12, 2011 Share Posted December 12, 2011 Try these guy's they have sorted may odd fittings for me.. http://www.thenippleshop.co.uk/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eightpot Posted December 12, 2011 Share Posted December 12, 2011 How can shipping be $70?? I had a chrysler radiator grille shipped from the states a few weeks ago and they only charged $10 shipping, which arrived next day! Shouldn't cost more than four quid for a jiffy back with some fittings in. If they aren't prepared to post it out at a normal rate for you, could you just book a courier yourself to pick up the order from them and deliver it to you?- I was very impressed with the TNT service.

Boro Posted December 12, 2011 Author Share Posted December 12, 2011 verminhunter i tried their contact form but its not working so will email them thanks for that, eightpot i know and totally agree something as light as these should only cost a couple of quid to send, this close to xmas could really do with finding a uk supplier if i can Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My temporary fix has lasted 4 years so far and has outlasted the steering box ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
discomikey Posted December 12, 2011 Share Posted December 12, 2011 well if you havent found anything yet, your local HGV direct will more or less definately have that in stock Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maverik Posted December 12, 2011 Share Posted December 12, 2011 I need an adapter piece for my disco 200tdi PAS pump to defender high pressure pipe - I've found trying to find "special" fitting in the uk a nightmare. Mav Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

landy V8 Posted December 12, 2011 Share Posted December 12, 2011 ebay is your friend.he has all sorts of different sizes. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/6-AN6-06-9-16-UNF-Adapter-O-Ring-/160635185421?pt=UK_CarsParts_Vehicles_CarParts_SM&hash=item25669a690d Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zardos Posted December 12, 2011 Share Posted December 12, 2011 Probably easier/cheaper/quicker to go to your nearest hydraulic place and get some custom pipes made with the right ends. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boro Posted December 13, 2011 Author Share Posted December 13, 2011 Will try a few hgv places tomorrow i already have a load of emails out waiting for replies, agent nomad i cannot see this particular type of adapter in their catalogue, landy v8 again those arent what im looking for i want them with a male o ring flare fitting one end, zardos tried that no one locally is able to do male o ring flares, yes i could cobble something together but the point of this excercise was to get some adapters which will allow me to run hydraulic hoses that any hydraulic place can make rather than something very custom which if it failed somewhere abroad would leave me with a big headache...

Maverik Posted December 13, 2011 Share Posted December 13, 2011 (edited) Ha haaaaa - ebay IS your friend!!! - still from the US but a heap cheaper. http://www.ebay.co.u...=item5641f96ea0 Oh that's AN 6 to 18mm... might be worth asking them if they have the 16mm one though...

Boro Posted December 13, 2011 Author Share Posted December 13, 2011 Good find mav thanks and shipping is very very reasonable i will see what they can do, cant even contact the other two ebay sellers of them as they seem to have blocked questions from outside of the us Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

red90 driver Posted December 14, 2011 Share Posted December 14, 2011 David Llama. Made us hoses with all the correct fittings, also hoses are ATF resistant as ordinary hydraulic hoses are not. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GBMUD Posted December 14, 2011 Share Posted December 14, 2011 something very custom which if it failed somewhere abroad would leave me with a big headache... As long as you have the old hose then any hydraulic factor anywhere in the world can string a new pipe between the original fittings. In what we would consider less 'developed' countries they would be able to bodge it together whatever. Chris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boro Posted December 14, 2011 Author Share Posted December 14, 2011 I did eventually find a uk source of the m16 adapter but not the m14 so have ordered some from the states, fingers crossed they arrive quickly, the hose i bought from the local hydraulic place (and they knew it was for pas) for the return and the reservoir to pump is oil/air/fuel hose are you saying red 90 driver this is not up to atf?

What is different about ATF to another hydraulic fluid? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
