We shall see but I do know the secondchance design is the best
Cliff,
Per your PM I will make these but I have to have a minimum of 10+ units. I'll also need a little time as I'm working on prior jobs now. The "declining" you mentioned was in regards to machining moldings which ain't gonna happen.
Thanks......

What are bumber moldings? I got confused

OK......in 2008 going back in that thread (as indicated in Below quote from that thread).............I think you said you would make Oil Cooler Adapters for $85.......so that is where we are ($850 shipped for ten Oil Cooler Adapters in 2008)

Again...the unique aspect of making your own fabricated SS Oil Cooler Hoses and Fittings is that all other components (other than the Oil Cooler Adapter) are available at Summit Racing.

Definitely NOT a Big Demand for SS Oil Cooler Hoses.......or at least NOT a Big Demand for making your own SS Oil Cooler Hoses.

Most guys would prefer to just buy a complete prefabricated set of SS Oil Cooler Hoses WITH Adapter rather than save some dollars making your own with the possibility of messing up and having to do it twice. There are some little tricks and one would have to watch a video to learn how to make your own hydraulic hoses correctly using reusable fittings the first try

There is one benefit having your own SS Oil Cooler Hose System. Once in a while the original Oil Cooler hoses/swedged fittings develop Leaks. You then have to by a whole New or Used Oil Cooler Hose System which may start out at $180 used. With the SS Oil Cooler Hoses (especially if you fabricate them yourself)......leaks can easily be repaired by replacing the leaking component (Which I do not see that any oil leaks will ever develop with the SS Oil Cooler Hose System if assembled correctly with Re-usable fittings). I have never seen an oil leak in a hydraulic hose using Aeroquip reusable fittings.

Cliff,
I'll do $90 shipped and that includes the AN fittings (2 - aluminum ones) and 2 - o-rings. This is based on having 10+ units ordered.

O-rings go on the adapter to oil cooler side so only 2 needed as I stated.

The AN fittings are pipe fitting thread ended so no washer needed.

I am glad to see Cater getting into making the adapter plate. My buddy who whipped up the version I made is currently too busy to machine additional adapters.
However, I have my buddy making a new "bling piece" for me.
