I have for sale five billet adaptors to replace your factory oil cooler lines to AN style fittings. These are machined out of billet aluminum and bolt to you factory oil cooler. All you need to supply is a longer bolt ( I used a allen head for clearance) ,o rings, 2 3/4 to 12 AN fittings, 2- 90 degree 12 AN fittings, 2-45 degree 12 AN fittings and about two feet of hose. Thes part cost me $57 at the local supply house.
I am looking get $160 each for the adaptor only plus $5.00 shipping. So for about $230.00 you can have new leak free oil lines and keep your factory oil lines.

I have five to sell but can have more made if demand is there.

IM me for payment address. Bank/Casher check is fine. I think the allen is a 6mm fine pitch. Check the bolt when you remove the old one.

Ill get some photos when I have a chance later today.

Go to a machine shop and get some prices on custom CNC machine work. Not cheap when you only need a small quanity.

I had six made so with Polo and Jeff that leaves three left.

That where the money is. That first 4 hours at the machine shop. Now you can send one to China and have it copied for $25.00 each if you buy 10,000 units:jawdrop:

Okay, thanks. I can't see the adapter, but I understand how it is made and might consider this too.

Send me a sample and I'll make them for $85 shipped in the US. Most everyone on the forum knows my quality of work. Take care, Carter:cheers:

Don't get me wrong. I'm not trying to undercut anyone just trying to give another avenue for these items after the 5 pieces are sold.

Looks like Kurt has made them too.

Funny thing is I talked to Kurt about two months ago about a windsheild and while I was on the phone I ask what it cost to buy a adaptor from him. His answer was he only sold them with the hose assembly. Now I spend the money to have a half dozen made and now he sells them seprate.....live and learn.

Why are you guys wasting time and money on this kind of stuff.
You guys have these cnc machines concetrate on stuff that is a bit harder to come buy and if you do come by them they cost big $$$ exemple chain tensioners the other idea i have the bumber moldings (91-95)make them out of aluminum and thread it for screws to hold it in place once painted who would know the differance if they were plastic or aluminum.

Carter work on the bumber moldings let us know if you this is possible.
Just give me the first set for free as a finders/idea fee.:)
