Good morning.
Got my engine out yesterday and one of the oil cooler hoses looks a bit cracked.
It did not leak before the strip down so it is not too bad, but I thought that whilst tidying it up I would look into replacements.
They are no longer available via Z power.
I have the original standard oil cooler.
Any ideas where I might be able to get them?
Cheers
Stu

Pirtek should be able to put new hoses on your original connections

The bolted flange is silver soldered to the spigot that carries the hose.
The crimp 'cup' is in turn; silver soldered to the spigot, the hose later inserted and the cup is then 'waisted'.
Removing the hose is an absolute git, as is un-soldering the crimped cup without releasing the spigot from the bolted flange at the same time.

Thanks for replies.
I took it to my local pirtek and they will do it. He proposes to cut off the collars, (which can't be replaced) weld a collar on and connect the new hoses. He reckons it will be £35 per hose. I will let you know how it works out.

Possibly a picture of the new hoses

The photo is not great, but the replacement hoses are, they even flex without cracking. £67- happy with that. new rubber seals included.
Cheers
