Custom oil cooler help
I have two oil coolers on my FC. DentSport cut the ends off the stock oil cooler lines and welded on AN10 fittings so I could run my own custom AN10 hoses to match the new oil coolers.
I read on a porsch forum via google search that Aeroquip StartLite Race Hose is performs the same as stainless steel braid but does not rub paint off the car as easily. I was thinking of going with that.
Would NAPA be able to crimp these fittings for me? I couldn't find much info about this process. Napa crimps my hydraulic hoses with a special press for me. No way am I going to use reusable fittings so please do not suggest it. If one fails...

Reusable socket fittings are fine. They are used all over the world in high reliability hydraulic setups.
Whether NAPA can crimp those ends depends on the dies they have in their crimper. Ask them. If there is any doubt, have a local hydraulic shop perform the crimps.
