Stock should be fine. I'm getting ready to do my oil cooler lines. Best price I've found so far is with Nathan @ http://www.discountbritishparts.com/ | ||

I checked the archives and some folks talk about getting the lines repaired at a hydraulic shop.They take them off and the shop replaces the rubber section.Anyone do this? | ||

I am in the process of changing over to SS braid. My original ones ('95 D1) seep so I get lifter rattle in the morning for 10 seconds or so until the oil pressure comes up. So far I have spent about $180 on parts. I will be cutting off the rubber sections but still using the steel pipe sections using tubing to AN-10 adapter fittings. It is not a difficult job, I just have to find a couple of hours free to do it. | ||

I replaced mine with stock. It was mindlessly easy. LR wanted $800+ to do the job. Replaced for less than $100. If you can attach a garden hose to an outside faucet, then you can do this. Its that easy. Unscrew, remove, replace, tighten. |
