Carrier Rad Elbow Question
I'm doing some rad work on my carrier and thought it was a good time to plumb the overflow tube I didn't do the first time around. This pic is of the brass elbow that is mounted on the engine cover just to the right of the rad cap. The wide end takes a rubber tube right off the rad cap and the threaded end takes a copper tube running to a water condenser can on the rear deck.
My question is what thread does the threaded end use? It is 1/2" but doesn't match any fittings I have available here in Canada. Do any UK MLU carrier people know what this thread might be and if there is a source for a fitting I might be able to get?

Bruce, Did you try BSP threads?
I am not sure if that part is in the carrier I have here, but I have a bunch of BSP, BSF and BSW tap and dies. I will see if I have the apart, and then see if something I have fits it. Likely though some others on the list may know off the top of their heads.....

I've just had a quick look at mine and I'm quite sure it 1/4" BSP (British Standard Pipe) It looks like 5/16" copper pipe, so you need to get the correct nuts and nipples (No 354). I get my fittings over here in UK from this firm.

I think it's the same thread size as the thread on the fuel pick up pipe on the fuel tank. Follow Rons advice, Bruce mate if your in no hurry I can get you a suitable fitting and post to you later in the week.

That would be terrific. No hurry, it's one of those touch up details that always seem to get done....eventually.

Connector.
Bruce, you need it to couple to copper tube?, I assume you do. Will post a few out with the 11 set dial cover on Friday.
