Oil pipes

Post by jono49 »

Whilst doing the CCT's on Sunday I was at ground level several times and came face to face with oil cooler pipes more than once, and I didn't like what I seen :eek2 They are a fair bit scabby and I'm tempted to give them a light rub down with some wire wool and Autosol..........Just how thick are the walls on these pipes???? Has anyone cut one open to see????

Wall thickness isn't a problem; just that the chrome pits and rusts in spots.
Several of us have fitted braided oil lines and an SP1 four row oil cooler.
Looks better, works better, just costs more.
It's not falling off, it's an upgrade opportunity.

It may be that your whole purpose in life is simply to serve as a warning to others.
