Oil Cooler connector repair

[Tedredamphi]

:032:I have two oil coolers that need repair of the threaded fittings. One fitting on each is cross-threaded and unuseable as is. Does anybody have any repair suggestions? Threads measure to be 18mm x 1.5 .
Thanks,
Ted Matthews

Ted: Try A to Z Hydraulics on Mark IV Parkway (near I-35 and Loop 820)* They might be able to fix or replace the fittings.** They even had fittings*to make up some servicing hoses for my Fokker*F-27 in BSP*(British Standard Pipe) Marc Amphigr66n.*

What we really need is a direct drop in replacement made so we can get rid of 50year old alum coolers with corrosion thining out the hot oil pipes in the cooling fins.I have seen one leak, spray oil out ,hit exhast, and catch on fire.

There must be at least one aftermarket cooler that will fit.

Anyone have the dimensions?
