Source for oil cooler lines
Any recommendations for a source for oil cooler lines? This is for a 13b 6 port I'm rebuilding to put into my 85 GS project car. MazdaTrix has them but they are quite pricey...hoping to find a more reasonably priced source.

They sell the Earl's braided steel ones with anodized fittings, They're nice but kinda spendy. If I remember right mine were around $220

Had one of my lines burst so searching I went for a replacement. The cheapest route for new hoses that I found was the prefab. steel braided direct replacement lines from Mazdatrix. I searched forever trying to find a way to fabricate the hoses with connectors and adapters for under $100 but that was a lost cause.

I buy the proper Parker adaptors and fittings, then use the parker insta-grip hose rated to use oil use up to 300 PSI with plenty enough temperature
each set-up costs around $30-35

hoses
You can get the adapters from mazda trix then go to your local napa and have thenm make the hoses with hydraulic hose rated so strong that they will never go out again. But in 64mg's case he probably does not have old hoses to match since it is a swap. rx7doctor
