Title: Oil pump to oil pipe connector for a pilgrim pump
Post by: mike crook@hotmail.com on 30 Jul, 2022, 12:39
Unable to source a male to male connector for the pilgrim pump on a 1934 bluestar 250.

Both ends are male one fitting into the pump body and one with a compression fitting to the oil feed.
I believe the thread is 1/2 in  C13 , anyone ony ideas where i might get one or have one made ?

Thanks.

I thought the Blue Star has a gear pump under the engine driven by the half time pinion.
If it's a pilgrim pump, perhaps it's a B2? Anyhow, what I think you need is a 1/4 BSP to 1/4 BSP male adaptor. If you search on Ebay or Amazon, I think you will find one. Or try petesbikes.co.uk.
