Anyone know of a good speed shop, or some other place to get braided or Blue Line and AN fittings for an oil cooler, around the SF Valley?

Got the first gen RX7 cooler and a Mocal thermostat now I just need lines and fittings.

BTW, My engine has already been fitted with AN by the PO.

TIA,
Mike D.

If you can't find a local place, order from Racer Parts Wholesale. They have good prices.

Earl's Supply Store #1 is in Long Beach...
take a ride doen the 405 and they should have everything you could need ...

I have made at least 6 orders for all types of AN fittings for fuel and oil in the past few months.

Always used Summit, they shipped the same day as late as 3pm and always delivered what they said they had in stock in 2 business days. These guys are incredible. They also stock 95% of what I needed covering probably 40 different hose end types and adpaters.

Just placed an order today, will have it friday. (unless the hurricane hits us)

Mike,

You can try Jim Grubbs Motorsports, or Teague Marine. Both are in the Valencia Industrial Park. Joe Factor Sales in Burbank closed, and re-opened as Luky's (his girlfriend, I think) just up the street on Burbank Blvd. It is down-sized quite a bit, so I'm not sure if they carry the AN stuff anymore. Might give them a call. Also, PAW and R&E Racing are in Lancaster.

Thanks All!

How about this one...How many feet of hose do I need to go from the engine to the front?

Well you need a return and a feed line, and make the most gentle curve radii possible.

Maybe 15' to be safe.

You might try a tapemeasure.

yep, I'm in the garage now with a tape measure, looking for the BTDT answer. How about one of those shrouds that channels the air out the bottom. I've seen them for 911 rsr replicas at around $200. I'll start bending my own sheet metal before I pay that.

I'll check AIR...

This may help, compiled from other threads.

Mike; I bought all my braided line and fittings at American Hose Supply on Parthenia just west of Reseda Blvd. Their prices were very competitive with the online stores but I liked that I could go by to get just the fittings I needed without getting extra. The fittings are what add up money wise. I think I bought 28 feet to do my job and had about 3 feet left.
