AN Fittings
« on: January 11, 2011, 05:47:30 PM »
I'm trying to sort through cooler and top end oil lines and I'm not overly familiar with AN fittings.

I have used fittings that are AN-6 or -8.  Can someone confirm the size, the male thread OD is nearly 3/4", ID just over 0.400"

AN-6 should = 6/16ths = .375.. so your fitting is probably -6.
