6BT12V

I need to replace my nasty rusted steel heater coolant lines that run over the exhaust manifold...I was looking for a stainless steel set, but can't seem to find any.
Anyone know if they make them, and where to get them??

Thanks.

Go to a local hose and tube supply shop. Its just 5/8 tubing. You could actually buy some tubing yourself and a bender and do your own.

By the time I buy a bender that can bend 5/8 stainless without kinking it, I think it would be cheaper to buy them pre-made.

did this to mine for my tranny cooler, used 316 stainless and a "swagelock" bender. I have benders and access to the material which is why i did it. If you can find an "instrument tech" in your area or someone that supplies SS, they'd be your best bet.
good luck!

Earls Supply inLawndale, CA.can make a teflon line with stainless braid.
Get your checkbook out. This is 'racing quality' stuff.

You might get another 12 years out of a replacement set of regular ones; more if painted...?

SS would be the way to go! Mine were looking like they were going to rust through so I bought new OEM ones from the Dealership. I forgot what I paid but it was alot, like $40.00 each or something like that (can't find receipt).

Thought about doing mine in SS as I have the 5/8 line at our shop, but I have some reservations about it work hardening and fracturing due to the vibrations.

I guess I will wait and see if nomads tranny cooler lines break.
