Brass fitting thread type?

[dracing70]

I was wondering if anyone new the thread type for the brass thermostat fitting that comes off the top hard radiator hose. The fitting fr the turbo cooler line. It is not npt. I want to eliminate it.

You could just cut off the nipple and weld it up...

I know Burkhard sells a delete bolt for it.

Just unscrew it and weld a washer over the hole. That's what I did.

If I would have realized it was not npt I would have but it's already powdercoated. I don't want to tear it up. I will prob. Order one fom tony as I can't seem to find be that size. Not even mcmaster Carr has them. Maybe if. Keep the heat down I can weld it inside without tearing it up
