    Engine swap oil cooler adaptor needed

    Hi,

    i have a 79 SC engine installed in my 70T. The engine runs fine, but it leaks oil. I've now made 3 attempts to fix it but it still leaks.
    I will change the oil cooler this weekend, but i also plan to change the oil tank to engine oil cooler oil line.
    The problem is that i have a 70T oil tank with a screw fit hose and a push fit hose on the 79 oil cooler.
    Does anyone know if there is someone who makes an adaptor for this or who can make a custom oil hose? I would rather not change the oil tank to the later style one.

    Here are some pics of either end of the oil line. I have joined the old and new style line, but i think that's leaking too, hence the need for a custom solution.

    Many thanks
    Paul

    Can't you use an early cooler to match your car?

    Yes, i could do that, i just don't have a useable early cooler handy. My car is in Switzerland and my original engine with the cooler is in storage in the UK.

    I honestly don't see an easier way than to install an early cooler.
    I've spent far more on a smaller leak....

    Many thanks jpnovak, i've just ordered an adapotor from len@autosportengineering.com. Hopefully that will sort that leak at least.
