Default Response to Cliff

The inside of the brass block looks carefully machined to accept the matching tapper of the oil line....... the modern fitting will screw on but will leak a lot under pressure due to the absence of a mating surface. The easiest would be to either make a new block externally identical but set up to take modern fittings or machine a brass adapter to fit the tapper and accept the new thread style at the other end.

Occasionnaly the old style oil line appears on Ebay BUT are usualy too short to be of any use.

Phil ...... hot engine oil down your sleeve is a sure way to wake you up in the morning....... none of these vehicles..... especially the cab11/12 were ever design for the comfort of anyone.... mechanics or the drivers....

...and being sadistic and masochistic that's why we love them...
