Fucked is what those threads are.
Funny enough he stated the obvious too...but the hose fitting are 3/4 jic which was a help

The cost is mainly in the fittings and Earl's especially so personally I would make sure I know what size Earls fittings they are, then buy a new cooler of the correct fitment.
My thoughts too

Totally agree...no the oil line fittings look as new to me at both ends

Thread form is unf.
AN-6 are 19/16" unf
AN-8 are 3/4" unf
AN-10 are 7/8" unf
Much appreciated..
Thanks for all your input

PTFE on the threads only used to stop threads galling / welding together over time - NOT SEALING LEAKS
Maybe that’s why the other end has ptfe tape too
but the fittings screw on nicely.....looks like oil cooler is problem you can’t unscrew the adapter even though it has a nut,it seems to be one piece...gonna pop into hose advise to see if they can tell what the threads are

Retro and classic bike Trackday at Cadwell Park Friday 7th June in association with RR retro magazine..all bikes up to 2000....I be in inters with my TLR...this is followed by a classic bike weekend via the CRMC club....hope this makes sense..
-
Cheers fella’s

Cheers buh.....I think the adapter on the rad is the wrong type to fit the elbow...hence the ptfe and they both look like there on the piss/cross threaded..

Booked ye old TL at cadwell Friday 7th June ...classic retro mag event..if your about give us a shout....I be the fat bloke at the back....

Evening all
Noticed a slight wheep on my kats oil cooler fitting between the earls elbow and rad adaptor..decided to crack it open..wipe..relighted and hey presto..now pisses out..but under the elbow flats..and out of what looks like a small hole again on the nut flats
Don’t know what threads these are but it looks like some kind of ptfe tape is used on the rad adaptor so maybe NPT..dunno...anyway any advice how to assemble these fitting would be pukka..thank you very much ....your time is appreciated

Top man..Top bike..Good luck fella

Blowing header was a nice easy fix.....But when cleaning the ap 6 pots I noticed the left hand Caliper roll pins had both moved,these roll pins prevent the pads from falling out (you have 2 pins per pad per caliper)...looks like I had a lucky escape !!!.....
