90 degree fittings on roof pump
We had a couple of days warm enough in Ontario to work on my project, 2002 xk8. thought I'd replace the brake lines the previous owner installed for the roof latch lines.
Got all the lines pulled in, and found that the original pump fittings had been changed to match the brake lines.
I can't find a part number or source for them.
The hydraulic hose supplier I got the lines from was good enough to let me know that it should be a 6L x 1/8" npt, male to male, 90 degree.
I haven't had any luck with hydraulic or auto suppliers, seems the 6L is rare here.
Anyone ever had to replace theirs?

The original hose fittings are metric: M12 x 1.5 thread, DIN 24 degree with o-ring, 6 mm tube. That sounds complicated but it's actually a fairly common thread.
Of course if the replacement hoses you're working with don't match this spec, then all bets are off ...
Good luck.

As originally fitted ...
The threads in the pump body are NPT. The elbows that attach there are NPT on only one end. On the other end of those elbows, where the hoses attach, the threads are Metric M12x1.5.
One excellent source for components like this is Malone Specialty in Mentor, OH.
