Replacing oil cooler line fittings?
Hi All,
I've got a situation where I likely have faulty female hose-end fittings for my oil cooler. I'm wondering if it's advisable to remove them (seems to be clamped with a metal band - easy to remove?) and put in new fittings into the existing hose and then tighten with zip ties. Asking as it's a much easier fix to do than replacing the entire hose and fittings on both ends. They are clamped on the same way that Perrin does their fittings. @PERRIN_Chris would love to get your thoughts on this - is it easy to swap fittings at the hose female AN hose end where it connects to sandwich? Would greatly appreciate any advice!

The fittings on the PERRIN oil cooler lines are really tight! They're a special style fitting and hose to make it seal on the hose even without the clamp. We include the clamp just as a backup. This makes it pretty much impossible to take them off the hose once they're installed, so you will have to cut them off, shortening the hose.
Replacing the fittings on the thermostat side is easy though, they just unscrew from the thermostat. Hope that helps some! |

@PERRIN_Chris aww darn, the hoses were cut to length, don't think I can shorten them by the 2 inches that procedure would require. Ah well, thanks for saving me the trouble!

Bozos on my FSAE team wouldn't listen to me when I warned against using a barbed fitting and hose clamp for an oil line. They spewed oil all over the track during the <cough> endurance event.
