OIL COOLER HELP!

[Piggy]

So we all know my history with oil coolers.... or more to the point the oil lines.

Cheap rubber flexi ones, they blew. Then some braided high pressure AN fitting ones...they blew too.

So I gave up.

Now more recently was attempting again. Had the cooler and a plate. Needed lines. Broke the plate. Fixed the plate. Still needed lines. 

THEN I Bought lines with thermostatic plate off "calibra306" on here. 

So the stuff arrives and the lines have the threaded parts of an old cooler (torn off in an accident) still on them. And they are seized. I mean proper seized. I mean in a vice with a breaker bar won't budge, lifting the workbench seized.

So I tell him and he says if I can't make them budge to send them back for a refund...well I couldn't and now I havn't heard from him in months. NOT HAPPY.

Anyway...buy another mocal cooler and pirtek lines off someone else on here. All good, in great condition. 

Went to fit them to today to find this:

oil cooler end:

   

Sandwich plate end:

   


This is no complaint to the seller, I am not sure if he realised, plus more my bad luck with bloody coolers.

Anyway. I need to plate end to also be a male fitting AND the thread is a weird size, just SLIGHTLY bigger than the cooler end and doesn't match ANY of the other mocal fittings I have. 

Any ideas?

Also anyone know what thread the sandwich plate is so I can start searching for the correct adapters??
