Stainless Oil Lines

I looked at the prices of oil cooler lines at Mazdatrix, 154? Would it be a cheaper alternative to go to a hydraulic shop and have them make exact replicas of the stock ones, only in stainless steel and not rubber?

corksport has the same lines for less.

And yes it generally will be cheaper to have a hydraulic shop build you lines, if you trust their work.

Corksport has them for less. But yes there is a good chance that going to a shop and having them replicated may be less money than either.

Good Chance?

They will be less if you have them made up at a hydraulic place. Not only that, but most places make the hoses specifically for hydraulics (obviously - but can be used in lower pressure applications), which are rated for more than 10 times the pressure of your oil system.
