Wanted: L98 Oil Cooler Pipes.

<< < (2/3) > >>

Vettech:
Where have you been.!?!?!?!..

Bfit gave me Phills # at Vette Conection Seaford.

Rang at 1230hrs Wed 14th he called me back when he verified he had the part.
Part arrived 1030hrs Fri 16th, actual final charge was less than quoted. I'm very happy with service.

Yes the fitting will be an issue, I need to change ALL rubber pipes on the car - they are a bit crispy.
And most likely the Water pump.

After looking at Geoff Eatons car  - I feel immeasurably better - maybe not even depressed any more.

Still interested in the Comodore set up , so when you get back Bfit we can talk about looking at yours.

Vettech:
Oh the trick with bending pipe  you can.
1. use heat.
2. use bending spring.
3. use the special device.
4. sometimes fill tube with fine sand and compact before bending. best use a spring here as well.

And yes a Mirror, maybe bypass heater (not required ?!?!) but will need to think thru the new water ccts, definitely replacing the 5/8 nipple in the block and re-establish original water cct.
The Oil Cooler is still in good condition- and I have a ship load of short filters. You know I hate to throw anything away.

Regards.

Tried option 1,2&4 without success on aluminium tube. Bought option 3. TIG welding thin wall tube was my problem. Final product needs a 'T' and a 3/8" inlet.

bfit:
Yes buy a  mandrel tool a plumbers one will,do the job .
Is the pipe 3/4 od

Vettech:
Thanks for putting the Kybosh on me Gazza.

Tried all ways of getting it in to no avail.

Nearly goes in from underneath but gap between sump and cross member (spring) is only 1/2".

Ummm options.
1. Drop sump (probably opens even more cans of worms).
2. Undo front engine mounts - raise engine 1/2 - 1".
3  Remove remainder of gear (Alt/P/S pump) from front of engine and try from that side.

Pipe should sit under the front edge of sump, should not have issues with S/rack (I think-- plenty of space)...
Ummm tied, hot, but I just need to think of other C4 owner friends who have BIGGER issues than mine and my depression just fads away.
Regards.
