Does anybody know what size and thread the cooling pipe connectors are that go from the autobox to the radiator are on a 85 Camaro.

Think the pipes are the same for TH700 r4 and 350

Got to change my bust box and the pipes ends are totally rounded, so looks like the will be getting cut off and a socket pushed over the ends to remove them.

The actual thread in the casing is 1/4 pipe thread - same as most air-line fittings. be careful using tapered threads though, as it will crack the casing.

Thanks,

any idea of anybody who might stock these pipes ready made?

I have not had much luck finding anyone

I used BSP fittings, but you can JIC also.

Pair of fittings that convert pipe thread to BSP:
MMS6-6-4 3/8BSP x 1/4BSPT 1.11 4
or was it these:
MMS10-6-4 3/8BSP x 1/4NPTF
I think one is parralel, one is tapered - parralel is prefered. I need to look in the shed or find the order.

Then a pair of
3/8 BSP Steel swivels
HEFP3-6 3/8BSP for 3/8 hose

Few meters of -6 blue socketless hose:
FBV0600 FBV0600 blue hose 3/8id 6.26 4

Then you need to figure out the fittings at the cooler end. I just used an old oil cooler.
