Thanks! I just ordered one right now. $130.00 seems reasonable without all the headache to put those hoses together. I know it's more cheap and simple, if I make one but I don't have time to look and shop around.
I looked at the assembly, all you need is the hose and banjo that goes to the oil cooler. The one coming from the engine is usable. Cut it off and attached it to a new hose , fasten it with hose clamp so as the other end with banjo connection.
That will probably cost you $30.00.

Just in case there's a next time that you have an FMOC hose fail, read through this thread. The entire upgrade from the beehive oil cooler to the 2nd gen FMOC cost less than the single hose you just bought. I did have most of the parts on hand, but the cost for custom made hoses was less than 50 bucks
