Anyone know the technical name / Type of the oil cooler fitting on the 850 radiators?

These:

Trash? 

You're having a nice, somewhat expensive, custom part made and deliberately choosing to reuse a part that frequently leaks and is a constant source of problems??  Why not use -AN fittings instead?

Its not for the radiator, its for a motorcycle im trying to finish. A 74 H2 750. I dont want to take the chance on damaging the oil lines on it because it took me almost 5 years to find a good set. They are exactly like the volvo ones only smaller and have a different clip to hold them on.

I actually found a guy in the UK that makes the lines with AN fittings. $250 but my tank maker has the fittings and will finish it up next week and then one last ride and she is off to her new owner in Cali.

In Florida the tree stops the car.  In Illinois we take the tree for a drive:

Anyone know of any good deals currently on 235/40/18 tires?

Also, any recommendations for tires these days for summer performance? Looking to stick around $600 for a set of tires if I can get away with it, but don't want to replace them in 20k (I looked at Cooper RS3-S's but treadwear is terrible).

Look into Continental ExtremeContact DWs 

If you're going budget - Falken FK series
