where to get oil cooler lines?
one of my lines has a slow leak at the bolt and i tightened it but it may still be leaking so where can I get the lines from or can I jsut get the bolt and stop the leak.
would rather replace the old lines anyhow since I still got to pull it down to mess with.

It continually amazes me that people keep asking for parts sources.
Mazda dealers
Mazdatrix
Racing Beat
Those should be the first place anyone checks for parts. And there is a HUGE vendors thread in the archives.

I also love it when people find out that a set of braided oil cooler lines cost over 100 bucks.. even if you make them yourself!!!

oh man.....i just ordered the corksport ones cost 141 with ground shipping
the install i cant tell if it was easy or not, all i no that taking off the old oil lines are a bitch
the only hard part that i had was getting my arm down into the side of the engine in order to install the longer one, and when installing the oil cooler itself
i installed them last night so far they seem to be working fine, ill post later on this week to see how they are still holding up

The hardest ones to get are the ones on the oil cooler, but even that is pretty quick if you have the right sockets and extensions.

(mostly if there was an oil leak), and on those, if I see cracks in mounts i'll just unbolt the 10mm nuts and loosen and drop the cooler and remove the oil lines on the garage floor.
