remote oil filter fittings tapped right into the block UPDATE in post 58 and the whole idea got 86ed

Well, now hold the phone..... It depends on the barbs AND the hose used. I have used certain reinforced hoses and barbed fittings from NAPA for over 20 years for oil cooler and remote filter lines. If you get the right ones, they are heck to put on, and never come apart. I promise, you can tow a tank with it and it just might rip the threads out of the fittings before the hoses come off. I have puts thousands of rally race miles on this stuff and the recent 340 remote oil filter mounts was done with these.

Now, I don't know if the fittings pictured are right or as some sort of knock-offs. Being Aluminum, no, I would not trust them really. All I have used are brass. And I don't know what hose diymirage is planning to use. I know what I am getting at NAPA.

I have a section of that hose but the printing is unreadable. I'll see if I can find some data. You used to be able to get it with steel braid reinforcement too. That hose can be used to tow cruisers or battleships rather than just tanks.... LOL

I know there is a lot of new stuff on the market that's easier to assemble, etc... I like the old style. Just me I guess...
