Hello,
I have an 80mm water cooled spindle like this one here I would like to remove the standard hydraulic fittings that came with it and replace them with a "push to fit" such as the ones made by Parker Prestolok (Resgitered TM). I measured the threads off of the existing fittings as ~0.308 in/7.82 mm with a caliper. I am uncertain if they are metric or std but even then it has proven difficult to find a "push to fit" fitting for a 1/4 in. tube with something along the lines of a ~0.308 in/7.82 mm thread on the other end. The drawings on the company site don't specify the thread side for the water channels in the spindle and I have emailed the company several times over several weeks and I have just been ignored. Any thoughts or advice would be appreciated.
Thanks!
