Oil cooler install???

[Silver3tiger]

I just bought a B&M oil cooler. I have a 1990 4wd Eagle Talon. My question is what is the best way to connect it as the B&M cooler does not have threaded ends for where the end lines hook up.

Any and all suggestions are appreciated!

B&M coolers typically utilize a hose barb/hoseclamp setup. Most of the time they come with fittings to adapt the threaded lines to a hose barb fitting, if not, that is what I would get.

I'm not sure what the stock 90 oil lines are as far as the thread pitch, size etc, however if you go to ACE hardware, you should be able to figure out what you have, and then go online and order adapters. you can just run the Stock hose:adapter:hoseclamp:newhose:hoseclamp:cooler, (and the same in revers for the other direction, or you can just cut the stock lines, and just use hose clamps.

From what I can see in the bag that came with the kit, it is set up for hose clamps. I was hoping it could be changed over to (earl's fittings) or something like that.

Thanks for the input.

Just cut the banjo fittings off of the stock lines and then slide them onto the barbed fittings on the new cooler. Use new clamps and it should work fine.
