Default Oil Cooler Line Leaks
It finally happened (on the 1st ride of the season!), the swaged fitting on upper hose leaks where it connects to the tubing/elbow going into the cooler.
Any suggestions? Where can you get the braided stainless hoses with the preinstalled fittings etc?
Thanks,
Doug

And there's also the option of having a local hydraulic shop make up a set for you, if all else fails.

Just a little clarification here- you'll need to have a fitting or nut welded onto the oem tubing because the line crimping machine won't fit around the double line setup. With fittings welded onto the original flange, a shop can make two separate hoses easily enough that you screw on later.

Unless I am mistaken none of those are braided as requested by the OP ?

I also just ordered a hose set from Jerry's Gaskets. Like the OEM look better than the braided look.
