I think the oil cooler hose from ZIP, and all the other Corvette parts suppliers, all have the same origin.

Ordered your lines Jerry. Get them on the way please. Craig White in Southbury CT. Still haven't heard from ZIP - Emailed the President. The hose that was on it was only seeping at a crimp and the oil pressure was in normal operating area hot and cold. UGH!
