Open it up to the correct thread, M14

I had the same issue. You need to open it up to the correct thread. I also needed a M3 power steering pump which also needed a little engineering to get the pipes to fit. It definitely wasn't the straight forward swap I was told, but now fitted it does a good job of keeping the oil temp under control.

all sorted cheers people i made a new pipe with an fittings and braided hose..

i havent got pas pump on my e30 dont feel the need for it and as irs a track car less weight haha...

thanks again

only reason for the pump is for the OEM style

I have a batch of conversion banjo bolts.

Makes life easy if you are not comfortable modding the housing...
