Hi Tyler,

Yes I was planning on buying one of those Nissens radiators off eBay as discussed in this forum. I'll need to investigate the hosts in general and check their availability. Perhaps a separate thread is best for this. I'm sure all of the hoses are in need of replacement anyway.

Here is a link to the exact same product and seller I bought mine from:

I needed to debur a few of the internal surfaces of that adapter with a small file. Otherwise it performs as advertised. As mentioned before I opted to buy the D24 double-male oil filter nipple as opposed to cutting the D24T threaded nipple used with the oil cooler. Using the D24 nipple with the adapter's threaded male-female adapter gives a very secure fitting without the need of the OE nipple's nut or using something like Locktite. I'm not sure if I'm describing that well enough.
