Bob et all,
I was wondering during your searches had you come accross a 16mm banjo with
an AN fitting. It would be nice to have one on the sump.
I am using 666 braided teflon but the hose nipple is 12mm whereas the 666
hose is 1/2". It would be great if I could terminate it properly. I am
currnetly using double hose clips, it works but its a but of a kludge.

Paul et al,
We used a M16 to AN-8 adapter and swivel hose end fitting. We got the
adapter from Lockwood for a whopping $56.05. The Rotax Parts Manual listed the
part as an option for the sump connection. The Rotax PN is 956650 (Adapter
3/4-16 UNF/M16x1,5). In hindsight, we could have used the same part from
anplumbing.com (PN 9919EFJ) or from summitracing.com (PN EAR-9919EFJERL or PN
AER-FBM2243 or PN RUS-670551). The latter parts can be bought for as low as
$6.95
ea.)
If you want to stay with the banjo setup, you can get Mocal adapters from
batinc.net. PN BJ168M is a M16 banjo with AN-8 Male end and PN 168H is a M16
Banjo with AN-8 Hose end. They also have parts to mate to larger AN-10.
Happy plumbing!
