Oil Cooler elbows

Thanks for the info on the bitumen cloth. Ive got some canvas and will try some tar on it.

I took a look at the site for the clips. They are close but not the same as the original type ive got elsewhere on the carrier. I'll post up a picture tonight showing the type I'm after.

Here are the clamps that are original to the carrier. So far I can't seem to find any like them available.

I would suggest that manufacturing has changed over the years to use less material for the same clamping effort.

I remember Jubilee being the premier brand in the UK years ago. Perhaps a google search in the UK might yield something or a post on www.hmvf.co.uk would put you in touch with those in the know in the UK.

There is a bible kept in our shop and that is the Spaenaur catalogue.

I think you will be lucky to find them like that nowadays.

Here is the company nowadays, perhaps an email with pictures to them?

Will those ones clean up and be reusable or are they shot?

Thanks and I'll check out the links.

The one I posted is usable and so is another one that I have. They hold the leather cover on where the trans joins the rear diff. I need some smaller sizes for the oil cooler and the rad hoses.

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.
