Finished my custom rewind stator and compufire R/R install last night seems solid with 14.5 volts at idle with a quick start and warm up this am. However, I didnt ride yet because my ham fisted forcing of things cross threaded the lower oil hose and messed up the nice aluminum threads in the cooler.

Im thinking I can save it with a tap

anyone know the thread size and pitch?

Im headed to NAPA later today and they'll probably just match it

I posted because it seems they maybe a weird size and thought calling around might be a good idea

i dont know of the thread size/pitch but if it is possible i would just take the hose completely off the bike and try to match up the threads to a tap that way.

Doesn't help this time...but...
For the next time..just pop the snap ring out and pull the alum tube out of the fitting.
Easier, quicker, safer
