Help! Need a fitting!

Looking for an M18x1.5 male to M14x1.5 female reducer.

I would envision and hope it would look something like this:

Reducing down to 12x1.5 or 12x1.25 etc is ok.

My google-fu is failing me and my head is starting to spin. End result i'm trying to get down to a -4AN and there doesn't seem to exist an M18x1.5 to -4AN male/male adapter fitting besides the $20 one that Ko Racing sells that is out of stock.

Buy a M18x1.5 bolt/plug then drill and tap the center?

Sounds like a lot of work and i'm not sure if i've got a drill that's up to the task.

That's what cheap HF drill bit sets are for.....

Get to it.

Nah i mean a drill itself. I'm not even sure i have a drill that works at all. If this fitting were going on my car, i might be willing to do something like that.

But it's not, so my enthusiasm for fab work (which is never high in the first place) is pretty much zero.

I told him he could do that if he wanted, though.

Doesn't seem to have metric to metric fittings, which is weird.

Or maybe "normal" considering how little luck i had finding any myself.

Pegasus Racing should have this.

Spent half an hour on their site. If they have it, they've hidden it well.

give them a call, they're not far from here at all. they're probably just one of those companies that is afraid of online ordering.

They should be able to refer you to a local hydraulic hose shop in your market that can order this for you.

Pirtek is good. I have also sold to Dunham Rubber in Indy.

This is a perfect excuse to buy a lathe.

O2 sensor bung plug + drill + 1/8" NPT tap + NPT to 4an adapter = Success!

If i had even the first clue how to use one, maybe. I really don't do fabrication work of any kind. At all.

I'm a E36 M3ty wrench and i hate wrenching with a passion.

That certainly hasn't stopped you from tackling massively large projects!

It's an "ends justify the means" kind of thing, and i've been blessed with the ability of being able to find out how things that shouldn't bolt together, do.

what knurled said

metric plug plus 'R' letter drill (0.339"), 1/8 NPT tap, plus this (Holley part here)

you don't need a lathe just center the drill

beer is optional

I plumbed an accumulator into the oil galley of an FZR engine in similar fashion using 20MM (IIRC) oil drain plug and AN fittings, it worked poifect
