Correct Oil Line Fittings ??

[SteveW]

Greetings from Southern California

I'm wondering if I have a correct assembly for JR Slaten's oil cooler lines and a Griffin aluminum radiator.

I've got things apart with a timing chain replacement project...

It looks to me like the original installer of the aluminum radiator used an externally and internally threaded reducer between the radiator connection
and the hose connection. Is that an extra part ?? Is the proper assembly a single brass connector between the hose and the radiator ?

THANK YOU for and commentary and or advice.

The JR Slaton part is correct.
Should the brass fitting on the Al. radiator not match, then privious owner
did some mod.
We sell few a week so we know.

You do want to use the copper sealing washers supplied with J.R. s lines.
