Post subject:  Mk 2 S oil cooler hoses
MK 2 S oil cooler hoses were a black colour braided hose, were they not? A braided material rather than a stainless steel wire braid?

Where might one obtain a set of these today? NEW?

A friend requires a pair for a MK 2 S concourse restoration.

I thing there unobtainable new, however if you can get a good 2nd hand set you can use heat shrink to restore them to almost new condition.

Yes similar looking ones to original are available, using 500psi hydraulic return line hose and barb `push-on' fittings.
This hose is black, and textile braided, it's more flexible than the 1500psi steel braided hydraulic stuff.

I get them from Pirtek. Also are good on modified motors with no cooler, they have better flow than the banjo pipe.
Graham Russell uses it for this reason.

Details:
PIRTEK oil cooler hoses-
1- MPH-08 (35 bar, 500psi) 1/2” Hose, 320mm long (or whatever length you need).

2- BF1-0808P Fitting, push-on barb type ½” BSPP female.
These fittings don't seem to be available with a bend now (from Pirtek anyway).
If you need a 30* or 45* angle connection onto the cooler, fit a 1/2" BSP M/F elbow. Pirtek has them.

BTW, these barb fittings are reuseable. Just cut hose, oil inside the end and push on.

here's the one I made up for Chong's 1330-

If he is doing a concourse car you can get the original ones second hand still. They have brass fittings and Smiths Petroflex written on a yellow band that runs around the hose near the fitting. They are expensive to buy tho, even second hand they are dear. If he wants a set PM me. i think I have a few sets in storage. From memory I think I have a brand new set too.

I've got a pair here fitted to my Mk2, luckily I found them new old stock at a an old BMC dealership in Nambour Queensland! (Sorry for gloating). I have a second hand original floating about somewhere minus the outer rubber I could possibly dig that one up.
