Quality never is.

If you want cheap, screw a nipple into tour tranny and slide rubber over it. It will eventually spew hot liquid all over the place.




LOL

Did that on the way home from leaving BB15 That's what prompted the lines, now I just stepped it up a notch even more.

Ok I thought it looked familiar. Those are kinda like the hoses we used to make for replacing the copper bugle line on semis. It's the air line that comes off the air compressor. They have to withstand high temps. Factory uses copper with compression fittings. Replacement was a Teflon lined braided stainless. They had funky ends you assembled yourself.

I get the same thing for the POS Barnyard Buicks at work. But I have watched the guys at Parker assemble them sometimes. They are crimp style with the nut for stationing the line. Never had one problem, but theirs have a tighter crimp.
Which is why I believe that they did something wrong on Ben's line. And if they don't know, they can't correct their problems and Ben pays more out of pocket.

It's been sense 2015 I had them done, I lost the receipt and don't even remember which one I had it done at. Hose power or parker.

New parts came in the mail, I think I might be missing a fitting. Not sure being sleep deprived right now I couldn't picture it together looking through the box.

 

[Babaganoosh]

Turns out I have all the parts, just needed to get a few hours of sleep in and some food. Hoping to make some progress this weekend hopefully.

 

[Babaganoosh]

Started building the lines, should have it running tomorrow.

What's that rubber part? You added some rubber behind the fitting?

Looks like heat shrink.

Looks like heat shrink.

Well that's what I thought but I didn't know what he has going on there?

 

[Babaganoosh]

It's a steal braided line with a heat sleeve over it. I heat shrinked the end to make it more better.

Figured. But needed to confirm.

Ran into a issue today, not sure how to go about this without doing two 90degree fittings, hopefully someone else has a better idea to go from under the core support to the cooler.

180 fitting?

 

[ktmoutfront]

Do they make a reduction/conversion adapter in a 90?

Not sure what you mean.

 

[frankin5]

The 8an male to 6an female reducer at the cooler, that the 90 is attached to.

 

[ktmoutfront]

Ots the other way around. 8an female to 6an Male 90 degree.

 

[ktmoutfront]

What is the fitting thread in the cooler? If it is straight cut and o-ring, I know they make those in a 90*.
