Turbo oil & oil cooler lines

[Alex Kowalski (audial@aol.com) (Law Guest Account) <lawguest@wppost.depaul.edu>]

Well, I bit the bullet and I am going to send all four of my old, SS-braided
lines to an industrial/automotive Aeroquip supplier to see if I can get a
matching set made.  I tried a few local shops and they weren't
encouraging because of the specialized fittings, but this particular
company seems to be larger and more resourceful.  The fellow I spoke to
was pretty optimistic.  He said that if push came to shove, he could
probably have pieces custom-fabricated, but that it would cost.  I asked
him to see what he could do with his pre-fab inventories first.

I have no idea what the cost is going to be yet, etc., but I know that there
were some people on the List thinking about replacing these lines.  If you
can do it safely, hold off until maybe the middle of next week and I might
have some good news about replacements at lower prices.  Ideally, this
would be all four oil lines - turbo in, turbo out, oil cooler feed & return,
made from high-quality, corrosion-resistant components.

Best Wishes,
