fairly low pressure, i've used hose clamps and a small flare of the end of the pipe to keep em going
I'd almost finished out replacing the radiator on my '94 (7/93 Build) 530i, but when I went to reconnect the upper transmission cooling line, I found that the hose fitting (nut) threads had stripped. It's looking like it may be a dealer only part (17221723848 OIL COOLING PIPE INLET, Qty 1). Does anyone know if this is a low pressure line and if so, is there a barb fitting I might be able to use as a substitute until I can find a replacement?
This is my daily driver and I need to get her back on the road as soon as possible. I did make several attempts at cleaning/chasing the threads but I didn't have much luck. I will be visiting an industrial hardware store at lunch to see if I can find an M18 thread chaser, but I'm not holding out much hope.

all america wants is cold beer warm cat and a place to take a poop with a door on it
Thanks winifred. Yve has ordered a new one for me, but the delivery date looks to be next Monday. The local junkyards are coming up negative on a used part, so it looks like some good ol' fashioned redneck engineering is in order for this evening.
Is there equivalent terminology in german?

Winfred. Sorry about the spelling mishap.
Thanks again. I sectioned the metal portion of the hose last night, chased the threads with an M18 spark plug chase and put it back together using some 3/8" trans cooling hose and a couple of hose clamps. Took her for a test drive last night and all is well. It looks like I should be good until I get the new part from BMA.
