black_widow87 Posted March 22, 2011 Share Posted March 22, 2011 Just got in from installing my aeroquip oil drain hose only to find that its aroung 50mm short. Iv been looking on the net trying to find a female to female adapter to make up the extra length but not sure exactly what size i need. Demon tweeks sell them but they measure in '-4 JIC, -6 JIC, -8 JIC'. These sizes mean nothing to me! lol Any idea on what size i need guys?

johnny g Posted March 22, 2011 Share Posted March 22, 2011 Measure the end connectors on the hose - post up a pic with dimensions if you can. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
black_widow87 Posted March 22, 2011 Author Share Posted March 22, 2011 The measurement of the male end which i need to connect to the female is 22mm thread diameter. Here are a few pics just to give you an idea of size: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paul Whiffin Posted March 23, 2011 Share Posted March 23, 2011 Surely getting the correct length of braided hose would be a better option? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
black_widow87 Posted March 24, 2011 Author Share Posted March 24, 2011 (edited) It was bought off a member on here along with a few other parts, i assumed it was the right length. Could it be the positioning of the manifold which has affected this? Edited March 24, 2011 by black_widow87 (see edit history) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
