Afco fittings

[sangheraent]

I know I know I posted about buying a CBR radiator but I have been doing some research and it seems like afco is a bit more popular, I was wondering if anyone knows which fittings I will need to run an afco if I decide to go that route? I have to order it online and pick it up on my way to oregon so I cant just take it to an auto parts store I have to have the fittings before hand. I found the link for the rad hoses.

Mine came with all the fittings. Are you sure it doesn't come with them?

Mine didn't come with fittings a few years back.   You basically need to go from 1/2" npt male to 1/2"/-12an hose barb fitting.  A fancy way to do this would be:

There are tons of options, including different curves for the hose barb fitting depending.  I needed a 90 and a 45 degree for my setup(you wont be able to use the stock lower hose.)  You could save a bunch of money and just go:

That straight and simple one above says aluminum(which I would definitely stick to similar metals), but looks brass?  For the price, could try them out, or go to a local specialty hose shop.

and I used some of this for the threads:

I like the "fancier" setup because I can change directions on the fittings by replacing the -12an to hose barb fitting, and they also rotate 360.  I'd not want to have to disassemble the NPT fitting, the threads are pretty much crap.
