I've got the cooler. The sandwich plate/thermostat and new air dam are on the way. Now I have to decide what kind of hose to use. I think that braided hose is overkill...it looks cool, but no one will ever see it and it looks like a PITA to work with. Does anyone have experience with the slip fit "barbed" fittings and hose that Aeroquip, Russell and others sell. The fittings are rated to 200psi, which should be more than enough...plus much less expensive.
Any suggestions apprecitated BH |

I'll be doing a front cooler in the next month and am researching it myself. Most of the racers I asked at the track are using Earl's stainless steel braided lines and suggested -12an. That hose is rated at 300deg and 1000psi so I feel that is adequate. That's what I plan on using, I'm sure the Aeroquip stainless braided is just as good. I only want to do the job once and I don't want a major oil spill so I'm not going to try to save money on the lines. I haven't decided yet what size oil cooler to get. I have a Mocal oil thermostat to use. I've got to decide on the best routing of the lines. It seems like there's no way to get into the front trunk without going through the corner of the footwell. Anyone have any good ideas on line routing?
