pompei Posted June 14, 2016 Share Posted June 14, 2016 I am having to replace the oil cooler pipes and the cooler in my coupe. I can find a cooler on the bay but the pipes are of pure unobtainium. There are companies offering uprated coolers and pipe kits but they are v expensive. I know that this is a long shot, but does anyone have a set or know anyone with a set? (I'd rather not go down the second hand route.) Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skattrd Posted June 14, 2016 Share Posted June 14, 2016 Can you not get some pipes made up by pirtek or similar? The Moog, Eddie Honda and spike60 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eddie Honda Posted June 14, 2016 Share Posted June 14, 2016 20 odd years ago I got some fresh flexis crimped on steel oil cooler pipes for a Kawasaki GT550 as Kawasaki wanted £180 for a pair of them at the time. Doing so was about a third of the cost. pompei 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nigel bickle Posted June 14, 2016 Share Posted June 14, 2016 When mine failed I used a bit of high pressure hose to get home, then took the pipes to my nearest Commercial type ( Moting & repairing lorries etc) and they made me a pair for £40. Still on it, 6 years later. pompei 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
twosmoke300 Posted June 14, 2016 Share Posted June 14, 2016 Local agri engineer could make up or repair old pipes . Or as suggested earlier Pirtec or Hydroscand pompei 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Lord Sward Posted June 14, 2016 Share Posted June 14, 2016 Another vote here for Pirtec. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Volksy Posted June 14, 2016 Share Posted June 14, 2016 When my hydralic clutch pipe failed on my old Saab 9000, pirtec charged me about £20 to repair and crimp on a new flexi section. pompei and Volksy 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
