Was making a shoping list to get parts for converting hard tranny lines to stainles wraped rubber hose with teflon liner - when I realized, the threads on radiator and tranny are 5/16" NPT, not the 1/4". I can't find any 5/16"NPT male to -6an (or any an size for that matter) anywhere.

Anyone seen these before, or am I going to have to get creative?

Sure it's NPT?

Never heard of 5/16 NPT....

Fairly sure... 5/16" line, 5/16" npt. I found 5/16" npt to 5/16" 45deg flare fittings at Orchard hardware store (same as stock ones on the car). Thats a replacment (modine brand I think?) radiator so I'm fairly sure its standard for the application

I was looking, and 5/16 line wasn't with a 5/16 fitting. (forgot what size)


Anyway, check this out:

Fitting was labled 5/16" NPT x 5/16" Flare and it looked, fit and functioned as normal, direct replacment for the stock ones I took off the car. Only reason I took stock ones off was because the part where wrench grips was starting to round.

You might be able to find if it exists...........

Thanks for that link! Everything in one spot, sweet.

I was going off memory. It was getting on my nerves so I just went out in the dark and pulled fitting out - turns out it was 1/8" NPT x 5/16" flare. Could of sworn the package said 5/16"NPT x 5/16" flare. Oppsy. Come to thinl of it, 5/16" NPT would be quite big.
