Just did one of those nice epoxy paint jobs on the floor so need to stop those drips. At least it wipes up clean and easy.
Thanks for the nice words. I really regretted your problem, knowing what a mess it is to clean-up. We had about 7% failure rate on those hoses, so that's why we quit carrying them.

We then started making our own hoses, in-house, using Edelbrock-Russell components with our special design Oil Cooler Adapter. Every hose is bubble tested to 120psig to be leak-free before adding them to inventory. The crimp design is more sleek and the collar can be painted black to match the black-braided version for that original hose look. Here's a couple of photos.
