Alright, a while back, I bought oil lines from Bullseye for a turbo that I eventually ended up not using for reasons that aren't important.

Anyways, when I picked up my AGP RS60T (Turbonetics,) I was hoping all I would have to do is buy a different fitting. Ben gave me one that has a filter in it, and is 1/8" "compression" threading (I believe that was the term.) The Bullseye oil feed is 1/4" flare threading.

Does anyone sell an adapter to go from male 1/8" compression to male 1/4" flare? It's too late to return the Bullseye line, I would like minimal extra downtime, and Home Depot doesn't carry any conversion pieces like this.

Anywhere else I could try? Not too familiar with the wide world of brass fittings :rocks:

Thanks a lot,
 
Go to a local hardware store you will have better luck than home depot or find a business that specializes in selling hydralic lines and what not. They will definately have the fitting you need
 
Have you taken a look through Grainger or McMaster Karr? They have all kinds of odds and ends fittings.
 
I ended up going to a hydrolic shop that makes hoses. They also did my -6AN fuel lines so I thought I'd go back to them. They looked at my -4an fitting and said it needs a pipe thread fitting and gave me an adapter. Hooked right up.
 
I didn't even know there was a Grainger around here, but after a quick Google I found one in downtown Pittsburgh, so I'll try them in a bit, and if I don't find anything, I'll try a hydraulic shop.

Thanks a lot, guys.
 
I was picking up a radiator hose from Napa, and on my way out noticed a rack full of odds 'n ends, including bolts.

After a bit of searching, I found the 1/4" flare to 1/8" compression in all of it's brass glory! I almost lost my mind at Home Depot looking for this stupid thing.

Everything fits, everything is smooth, and I am one happy camper.
