Hi Svenn

http://www.fastenal.com/web/location...nal&country=NL is the Fastenal Company they sell Eaton fittings.

If that doesn't work let me know and I look around.

I will also ask my local independent NAPA store owner if he knows any one who has set himself up to sell overseas.

Cheers Phil

Default shipping

Thanks Phil!

I have registred my self at jetcarrier.com which is a firm that passes on good from USA to Norway.

Next problem I then stumbled on to is that the small brass fittings are not available at napaonline.com for shipping for some reason

Search goes on...

Default One problem with buying fittings

Hi Svenn

I've run into the same problem here in the US with both Fastenal and Napaonline is they don't sell fittings individually. In fact with NAPA stores if you are not a regular customer they won't order in (1) fitting because they have to order bag of 10. Solution is that I end up buying the ten.

Fastenal won't sell the individual fittings period. Only sell the buy the bag. But the price is about what you would pay for half as many at the local hardware store.

I'll check with both my local NAPA and Fastenal see what can be done.

Tell me (us) more about jetcarrier.com do they have a English version of their website?

Cheers Phil

I believe that some or all of the fittings you are looking for are common to the G-508 GMC. They may be closer than you think. Have you tried Rex Ward?

Hi again.

Jetcarrier is a firm that has specialized in shipping from USA to the nordic contries for private persons. Since many online stores in the usa do not ship overseas, you get as a registred customer a "private" adress in New Jersey for orders, and then the firm will ship it overseas to you. Shipping cost is quite decent.

They also ship cars, bikes, engines and so on.

I have never used them before, but will give them a try for the flexible oil lines perhaps, and try to get the fittings here in norway.

I will also check if parts for the GMW will do and see if these are more available. Thanks for the advice.

If nothing works out I will try to get someone to pass it on for me

Svenn

Just wondering if anyone can give me the measurements for the brass block? Also the hard oil lines from the engine to the block. Are they 1/4” OD?
