[QUOTE="K@rlos, post: 634708, member: 4304"] Luke AN is the thread type, short for army/navy. Was conceived in ww2 by the American's as a joint standard on plumbing and fittings for use in the 2 services. And yes -8 etc is the size, goes from -2 all the way to -20. If memory serves the internal diameter of AN-8 is 1/2” and AN-10 is 5/8” Yes, you will need to change the barbs for fittings but they do just unscrew. The Barb threads used on vws are normally 3/8 npt so you’ll need x4 3/8 npt to AN-8 fittings, 2 for engine and 2 for oil filter head. Do you have a remote cooler and a sandwich plate? If so you’ll need to need to find out what threads they are and order the relative fittings. Depending on where the cooler is (if you have 1) you’ll need to get in my experience at least 4m of pipe and the various fittings to go on said pipe. Feel free to message me privately if easier.
