Okay sorry I'm going to throw my POS Linksys Router out the window...



The bracket I was talking about holds the two lines together...

Here's the bracket...



The lines before the bracker and those fittings posted above threads right into the oil cooler. So what I need is something to come out of those fittings to thread into the cooler's inlet/outlet.



Does that make sense?



Sorry this has been so convoluted, mostly because I don't know what I'm doing!

Here's a pic of the line threading right into the cooler.

So the question still remains, what's the name of the part/fitting I need to go from those severed fittings to the oil cooler?



If I take this to a performance shop will they know what I need?

If the oil lines currently on the engine are the correct length and thread right on to your GSL-SE oil cooler, there is no need to change anything.



If they're too long, you can shorten stock oil lines pretty easily.



If I were you, I wouldn't bother with those chopped fittings.

Okay, I'll just put those aside for the moment and wait until the engine is in I guess. Thanks a lot for the help!

So nobody in Georgia carries the PP bolts. A neighbor works in the "nut house" at Ford so he's going to take it to work and see if they have they size I need. He says all they use is metric.



My turbo shipped today and I'm researching manifold design.



Also, no one seems to have the fittings for my Walbro. I didn't order fittings with it because I wasn't sure of the size...now no one local has them! Bleh.

With a streak of brilliance I took the bolts off my 12a PP and they fit fine for the my PP. Only, I'm 1 short now because I loaned that one to the Ford guy.
