Anybody have an elegant solution for -16 size Quick-Disconnect Couplings?

They would be used on the front oil coolers of Simone's latest creation. :D

Mike:

Is this to remove the bumper easily? On "Butch" I have the cooler fixed to the frame, so the bumper comes off without the cooler - easy.

Otherwise, looks like you already found an elegant solution....

Hi Paul, My 4 oil coolers are not compatible.
The RSR oil coolers are like yours, but the 993 kit has the coolers in the nose.
No spill coupling because 1" oil lines seem to leak forever. :wink:
Better during the change and when the unused coolers are in storage.
Fun project. :D

Go to http://www.xrp.comand download their catalog and look at page 19 for the Wiggins type clamp.

Yeah, no dry brake.

They do make a nice connection for Porsches like a 914/6 that disconnect the line to drain the dry sump tank.
