So..... i'm doing some -AN lines on a vehicle soon

But i need to convert lines from metric & NPT to -AN

So i have most of my converters already which are male metric or male NTP to -AN

It was recommended for the metric and NPT sides to use a thread sealant paste and not actual PTFE tape.

Any particular thread sealant you guys would recommend?

Conversion fittings are anodized aluminum

According to dasheet. Only brake fluid was slightly affected

Bhagwansingh piarco has some nice irwin
Allied also

If you not particular bout brand or build quality:
The total is decent (tool king/best for less)
Followed by the tolsen (tool hub in south)

[Dave]

Thank you very much.
Saw Irwin online but sure it might be cheaper to get one locally.
After fasting that's the project!

[maj. tom]

Check Allied.

[Dave]

My client deals with SSL and they carry Eclipse and prices are quite good.
Thanks again

[pugboy]

Care to share what those ok prices were as I'm looking for one as well. I just don't know what's the amount I should budget for it.

This connector is amazing....solid brass. no leaks
Very secure
60$ at bhags
Would put some thread locker on it so it doesn't loosen over time

Fellas where to get a 1/2”-3/8” socket adapter to buy only? Don’t wanna buy a whole set again to get that one only. Thanks.

[Dave]

Many tool stores have as well as hardwares that sell loose sockets.
For the love of it I was somewhere recently and saw loose sockets.

Almost sure i saw that at Priceclub in Chaguanas of all places. They have a socket section down by the car stuff.

Fellas any recommendations for a head light? I looking for one that’s comfortable to wear and be able to focus the beam where I want it. Don’t have to have no fancy features either like strobe/ red light etc. been looking online locally and not liking what I see cuz the looking big and bulky.

Headlamps are very subjective. It helps to visit a store like REI to try out a few to narrow down what you like and what you don't - but you probably don't have that option in Trinidad. Be prepared to buy more than one or two headlamps before you settle on something that works for you.

Here's a recent review from Gear Junkie that might help you.
