Talking about hose & fittings, you seem to be the right guy to direct my
question to. Others are invited to answer too, of course.
For my oil system I have pretty much used the Europa supplied hoses,
clamps and fittings. But I have always had some reservations to have
rubber hoses attached with a worm clamp to the engine, for such a
critical system.
As my oil cooling system is now finalised and working to my full
satisfaction, I would like to replace all the hoses, fittings and clamps
by something better.
I'm a newbie in hoses, fittings and clamps, and the available options
dazzle me. Furthermore, I have no clue what the names of the fittings of
the oil cooler are, the oil tank, etc. and I'm likely to order the wrong
parts. I see confusing AN-x parts, metric sizes, thread dimensions, etc.
So, three questions here:
1) What kind of system (brand) is the best I can use.
2) Has anyone who went the same route, a list with the proper names of
the fittings and sizes of the various parts of the oil system?
3) Can I order somewhere the correct hoses with the correct fittings
clamped on, ready to fit? (Yes, measuring the required length of the
hoses I can manage. ;-) )
Thanks,
Frans
