oil fitting conversion.. help

got a bigger cooler from a newer z750 and the old lines dont match up. Old cooler had AN style fittings, new cooler has oring type compression fitting.

Is there a brass fitting made by someone that will change the oring style to AN style?

here is a pic of the old cooler and the new line (chrome-it is not long enough to reach the motor) and the old line (bottom)

This is when you wish your brother-in-law was a plumber..... or maybe a machinist.

Is it possible to just switch the fittings between the coolers or are they soldered in place?
If they are soldered in place take it to a radiator shop and see if they can do it.
That old line from your angle looks like a simple flare fitting, although it may be double flared like a brake line and your friendly neighborhood mechanic should be able to make a new line up for you if you don't have a flaring tool. This is providing that the fittings came be switched to begin with.

could you not drill a larger hole using a drill press in the female side(the connecter on the oil cooler) the same diamiter as the male side, they should join then no?

i dont think you got it.

i want to convert AN style female to female type oring.

I dont know of any adaptor that will make that work, you may have to change out the lines, should be able to get some nice ones made with the right fittings at a hose shop

You could try Aeroquip if you can get a hold of them. I haven't dealt with them in years.
