A heating or air conditioner wholesaler will have them..identical..stainless steel up to 30"in diameter..used to secure flex duct on pipe throats..
Phone your local Carrier wholesaler,tell them you are buying it for the company or ..get the size and PM BE ..I'll GET YOU A Carrier PART NUMBER FOR THE RIGHT ONE..
pm ME WITH THE DIAMETER AND HOW MANY..WORST CASE SCENARIO I'll GET THEM HERE AND SEND THEM TO YOU VIA stew OR SOMEONE GOING SOUTH.

Hi Alex

I can buy the modern ones like this picture at any hardware store. The "screw" is enclosed. The kind I am after have an open "screw". I don't think they are made anymore.

So I went to install my oil cooler lines today. Had to go out and buy a 1/2 tube bender from Princess Auto. It works fine. However I collapsed one of the tube trying to get the bend tighter. I managed to get the short one installed. But the long one proved to be rather hard. The attachment point on the cooler sits lower and I found it very hard to get a tight enough bend to clear the bogie/suspension tube.

Do anyone have any photos of the lines connecting to the oil cooler itself and any suggestions to help me out with this.

Furthermore asking again if anyone has a set of the original elbows pictured above. The new made ones are too short.

Yes that helps. Thanks. Now I just have to try to get the tube to bend that tight.

Hi Jordan

I still have the lines in my unit, I would be willing to remove them for you to get a set matched if that helps you I know we are not far from each other
