The high pressure engine oil cooler hoses on my 1990 ZR1 are leaking like a sieve. My local GM service mgr says that he can no longer order them from GM..
HELP!!!! Anyone know where I can get them???? They leaked on my first ZR1 but that was 4 years ago and I had no problem ordering them back then. I am at a loss......

Since the cooler line are unavail, there is an adapter to adapt to AN fittings ..

I assume just like the high pressure power steering hose,
you can take your leaking hose with fittings to any competent
hose fabrication shop and have them whip you up a new hose.
My leaking rubber hose was replaced by a cool looking braided
metal hose and they used my old fittings. A FRACTION of the
new dealer price if you can even find them. Good Luck,
Ted

Try a local hose & tube rebuilder

I converted mine to AN fittings and steel braid hose. When I get back home I can post a photo or two for you. I figured that steel braid would last much longer and would be more reliable too. They also cost less to build than replacement with the OEM style rubber hoses. If I remember correctly it was about $160.00 to have the hoses and fitting made up and then I installed them. Not only do they look nice but I feel confident that there will never be a leak there anywhere.

Just got the hoses from Kurt White. They went on easy and no more leaks. expensive, but hey, it's for a ZR1. No complaints here
