HELP! oil cooler hose PN's?

The infamous oil cooler coolant hose split on me today. Anyway I called around and noone carries them, not even the Victoria British? Anyway I'm not interested in converting over to 2nd gen. Just need the hoses where can I get them?

Thanks guys!

If you are going with a 2nd gen cooler, you will need the 2nd gen hoses. You will most likely need to have the hoses fabbed up, depending on location. This is cheaper than buying from the dealer or Mazdatrix.

Check the archives for my write on the install.

i went to a hydrolics shop and it cost me 95 for them to make up a hose that looks nice but reused the ends. if you need it soon, do that, but mazdatrix has ss braided for cheap

Well, I am assuming the hose you are talking about busting, was the "J" shaped hose. Most auto parts stores have curved heater hoses, even if they don't have the exact hose you need. Just find one that closely resembles the hose in a section, and cut it down.

I do not like the beehive, and just tossed mine out last weekend. Had my hoses been in better condition, I'd offer them to you for the cost of shipping. Personally, I don't think they're worth even that much............

Not interested in swapping out to 2nd gen cooler. My car runs at about 120* all the time and the beehive cooler works just fine.

I think I'll go with new hoses this time. I don't want this hapening again. Thanks for the offer though!

I'll see if I can match up the "J" hoses at the local parts store.


Thanks
