I live in Seattle, and i am wondering if anyone has an oil return fitting for a t-25 that i could buy off them. I was hoping to slap some parts onto my brothers car today, but the lack of this part is holding us up. Is there any substitute that will work, or a ------ rigged way of doing this? Thanks

the return is not pressurized so im sure you could come up with something... use ur head and scope around ur garage... try to make something work n change it later

Good thinking, I figgured i'd just rig some thing up for now, like cut a metal plate and weld a barb fitting to it, Just wondering if anyone had an idea that would be easier, or that involved less thinking on my behalf

thats not a bad idea, n yeah it'd work perfectly fine without having to change it, cut a lil metal plate, weld a fitting doesn't HAVE to be barbed. use some epoxy when putting it on n you can use it forever (as long as it dont leak)

I'm going to give it a try, i started with some angle iron and some conduit. I'll post pics of the finished result! Wish me luck! And thanks for the help!

I just run a pipe tap up the hole and thread a barbed fitting in, works perfect done 2 already I do the water fiiting also :1

I'm liking how easy this sounds!!! Since you have done two already, can you tell me what size tap would work best?

I can check tommorow but I cant remember off hand, Its in my tool box. I want to say 3/8 but I might be wrong. Cuts like butter and is easier then ----, Works perfect looks factory I use a 1/4 inch brake/ steel line for oil feed also.
