Correct Oil Cooler Hoses and Fittings

[ERA Chas]

'Correct' hoses and fittings are -12 not -10 that come from ERA.
Also fabric-covered hose, not braid. And the cooler fittings are female, not the common male.
There's a lot more to 'correct' than fitting colors.

Uhhh, is that the black hose that has the line running up the back? That's my personal favorite.

My car came with colored fittings, but swapped them all out. Tried removing the color but elected to replace.

Ordered a set of 48 IDA today from Red Line. Their fuel lines comes with the colored fittings. Elected to home brew them. It can take a little work to source the naturals.

No it doesn't. Aeroquip makes nickel finished AN.

Nickel finish fittings are readily available....

Yes but on an S/C, not street car.
