[QUOTE="Scott Cee, post: 134415, member: 23817"] For the rings I used, one was tapered, so it was the upper ring and the taper faces up, the other was straight and did not have any markings, so it's the lower ring and can go either way. Hold them against a piece of white paper or similar to look at the edges to make sure. I did not use the rings you purchased, as I purchased ones for a turbocharged car, so they may be different. All of the forklift parts I purchased turned out to be incorrect. The coolant nipple probably can be replaced with a generic NPT hose barb, I say probably because we didn't even try to get it out of my head. I would purchase one in brass, they're available pretty much anywhere including the likes of Homedepot. There really is no such thing as metric pipe thread, they just use NPT but on the tight side of the spec, so worst case you will need to use the correct NPT tap to slightly open the thread up so your fitting will engage with adequate thread, or you may not need to if the fitting is also cut towards the undersize.
