The original tranny cooler lines on my GTA got all messed up after removing the tranny to get the front oil-pump seal/bearing replaced.

I went to a couple of junkyards, but I couldn't any decent cooler lines. People either cut the lines when they remove the engine/trannies or they're in much worse condition than the lines I already have.

Since new pipe would look alot better and the hex fittings wouldn't be all rounded off like used pipe, I went to a few autoparts places to see if I can find sticks of preflared 5/16" tubing. Unfortunately, the only 5/16" tubing I can find are sticks of shiny steel galvanized pipe with gold zinc oxide fittings. WTF?

Does anyone here know where I can find sticks of pre-flared 5/16" tubing in "green/gray" galvanized steel with 1/2" black-oxide fittings like the original pipe? If so, is there perhaps a (Gates?) part no. for this particular item?

 

I have a spare set of the tranny cooler lines available.

Lon,

If possible, can you describe the condition of the spare set of lines you have available?

Thanks.

 

I'll dig them out tomorrow and snap a picture of them.

Sorry I can't help you after all. I was cleaning the lines and found out the shorter of the pair has a crack near the lower radiator connector. Trash day is tomorrow. Out they go.

Lon

 

I have several good sets.
Please dont get **** with me as I don't have time for pictures or making them look nice.

 

Thanks for trying Lon.


Don,

Will you be at the shop the week after X-mas? Or, will you be going on vacation or something?? Just curious.

 

Yes

 

Not to get "****" but you could go to Fine Lines Inc.
