So I have just about got the car back together except I am having a hell of a time trying to find the last piece.

I need to find a source for these fittings:




The Car is a 95 Honda civic ex with auto trans
It is the fitting that threads on to the radiator (19mm) and the other end goes into the rubber automatic transmission cooling line.
Napa did have it nor did any of the other local auto shops.
If someone on here has a 95 with auto trans that they are parting let me know.

 

What is wrong with the ones you have? I'm thinking dealership only parts. They are the same on my 90 Honda LX. So I'm sure there are a few years the same.

 

I agree, those still look serviceable. The seal is made metal on metal from the brass part to the tapered part on the radiator. The nut needs to be fairly tight. Use a box end wrench on it before hooking up the hoses. Apply oil to the nut and the threads to help it tighten.

When I bought a new radiator, it came with a set of those which I didn't need since the car is manual (the parts store sells only the automatic radiator to everyone so they only have to stock one type). I can look if they're still on the radiator doing nothing.

 

The threads were badly rusted and the shafts were ovalized. When I was trying to take the hoses off the were frozen to the fittings and twisted them.

I just found a guy on craigslist that was parting out a car.
I dropped the radiator back in yesterday, no leaks and the engine temp was good.
Thanks for your input guys.


I just have to:
1. adjust the hood so it closes all the way down.
2. find out where to check the transmission fluid. (I couldn't find a dipstick to pull)
3. Buy and Install new brake pads.
4. Install the plastic bumper cover.
