Good evening,
I have a good one and hopefully will not leave everyone scratching their
heads.
I am replacing the oil cooler lines (just the flex lines) on a 455
engine. On the end of the hard tubes is a flare connection with male
threads and on the end of the flex lines is another flare connection
with female threads. So how does one join these connections together?
I just finished taking some copper washers and adapting them to be used
for a flared fitting. See https://youtu.be/u7WULLs2nV8 to see what I made.
Now that I have more light to work with tonight I started trying to put
everything together and then I realized that both ends were flared I
figure that the copper washer as a flare gasket will not work. Am I wrong?
If both ends were male threads, then It would be a fairly simple trip to
O'Reillys to get a connector that would join both flares together. With
the one end being female threads, that seems to be throwing a wrench
into everything.
Any thoughts?
Thanks.
