T-pieces

Where have people managed to find these... I'm after 8mm T-piece and 25mm preferably in aluminum for the coolant system?

Cheers Toby

8mm is easy it is a standard fuel & LPG system size but I have never seen one in light alloy either plastic or brass or plated brass, metal type won't matter in a cooling system with antifreeze in it.

An ebay search on " 8mm T connector " will turn a few up.
Rover use a 8 mm equal tee on the Rover 75 Petrol cooling system but it would be cheaper to buy off ebay.



A 25mm ( 1" equal tee the only application where it used used off the shelf for aquariums again ebay " 25mm Tee connector" how suitable these would be for hot coolant you would only know by trial and error.

Car Builders Solutions list 25mm equal tees but they look very similar to aquarium ones.
