PorscheFan,

The fittings on my car (Cayman), were made of a light color steel (Stainless..?) I also remember clearly that right after finishing the instalation of the cooler on my car, I saw here in the forum a post from Eric (Eric323..?) offering the fittings for sale in case someone wanted to install an oil cooler.

Actually, I copied this design from one of the BSR cars on his shop, maybe Eric can set you up with the steel fittings that will be easy to weld to a standard AN fitting....

I already has talked with Eric523. They do have a few pairs of the fittings left, however their fittings do not have the one-way valve at the end of the high-pressure fitting. Not knowing if I could discount the valve I decided against going with those fittings.

Good news, my fittings are ready! See attached pics

• My Porsche rackside fittiings are Brass
• I got two Brass fittings - 6AN Male to 1/4 NPT Male
• Found a welder who Brass welded the fittings on the Porsche fittings that I cut and took the black tubes out of

These are Tig welded using Silicon Bronze. I think they turned out real good and will do the job just fine. This weekend I will fit these...
