replacement cooler lines

[Flyfish]

what's the name of the 1/2" double tube flare to male G3/8 fitting I'd need on the rad end???

I’d say take them either the male or female end and they will figure it out pretty quick. Don’t recall which adapter you have. But likely, 101 stuff they know.

Maybe but I'd rather know so I'm sure the fittings are available. Would be easier in the UK I'm sure.

So say I were to buy two new sets of lines (so I'd have a spare for the next maintenance interval), and have a hydraulics shop replace the rubber sections with stainless braid (we agree right?), what's the name of the 1/2" double tube flare to male G3/8 fitting I'd need on the rad end??? I've searched and can't figure this out (donkey, I know, smack, smack to save you the effort). Alternatives: buy another rad and weld North American friendly fittings to the tanks, piss on the internal coolers in the tanks and run external everything (too much hassle with mount locations, line configuration, I think), live with the adapters (and extra point of failure) I have now? Your thoughts?

Piece of cake to braze any kind of hose ends (except aluminum) to the steel line.

Probably a phone call to your local shop will give you the easiest answer.

Agreed. Just need to find the fitting.
