Found these on Autometers site. Pretty interesting. They have a working pressure of 2900lbs and a burst pressure of 8800lbs. They use 4an fittings.

 

Seems to me like those wouldn't be a bad idea, although I have no experience in the matter. I'm gonna need to replace mine soon apparently...I've sprung a slight leak, lol

 

BTW, I just checked prices according to Summit Racing's site, $44.99 for the 18" hose, and $55.99 for the 36" hose. Not a bad price. Sounds like a worthy alternative worth checking out. Im going to call them (autometer) tomorrow and see if they think they would be suitable for oil cooler lines.

Anyone see any possible downsides?

 

ummm...no credit card to order off of the net?

oh, wait, that's b/c I refuse to pay interest one one

 

Check the size of a 4AN connector. The oil cooler lines will need to be 8 or 10 AN. It would be my guess that those lines would be more suited for an oil pressure gauge.

Yeah your right. Doh I thought they got bigger with the smaller numbers. Damn wire gauge.

 

Its simple, the AN system is based on 16ths. -8 hose is 1/2" ; -16 hose is 1" ; -10 hose is 5/8"

 

Nice, there probally alot nice to work with rather than poking the **** out of your fingers with those damn SS lines.

 

1fastT2 you wouldnt be happening to use your stock rad with that setup are you?!?! if you are, your not getting to hot are you?

 

I think they would be awsome. I have been using kevlar brake lines on my sport bike for the past year, and I love them.

 

At the very second I am. Im not having cooling prolbems but I will be swapping it out soon with a fluidyne.

 

i under stand that they dont fit BUT would they hold up to the heat?
