oil cooler line problem - yota4life - 07-01-2014
I ordered some oil cooler lines for my swap. I can get them in but where I have my oil cooler the lines kink. So I need to add a new fitting to where the rubber hose meets the metal line. Anyone know where I can get one and possibly the size. I need a 90 for each line. Thanks in advance

take them to a competent hydraulic hose repair shop, they can rebuild what you have, mine have lasted years

Gonna see if I can get a tubing bender and bend the line some to make it work. But I'll see about the hydraulic shop. Took them to Napa and he said the only way was to cut the hose add a fitting recrimp it and it still would a been way to long for what I needed.

buy a used one and replace the hose

The hose is good I just need a 90° where the rubber and metal meet.

Metal what? FItting/hard pipe/cooler?
RE: oil cooler line problem - yota4life - 07-10-2014
Metal hard pipe. I got it bent just enough but my upper hose is to long gonna see how much its gonna be to get cut and recrimped

Since you're working on a custom installation, it might be worth it to go with custom AN fittings and stainless braided lines, something like this -
