Both of my rubber lines for my oil filter are trashed. I know I can buy the from Jim Carter & shipping cost is almost the same as one hose. I get it, it takes material & time to ship items. However I have a Local auto parts store that can make hoses. I haven't checked on price there, but I have a feeling it will be much lower than ordering online. I am curious if these hoses have a metered port on the end that goes into the block for each hose. If so maybe I should just order them.

Just take the old ones off and take them to the hosemaker. They'll be able to copy them. I don't think they're anything special.

I had one break on the road (old and cracked). I just bought same diameter hose at flaps and took the fittings out (cut them off) of old one. Had two small hose clamps. Bam...all good. Was like that for almost a year. Then I got new ones. If you need a quick fix. Or make your own that way. Todd

The metering is done in the oil filter. The standpipe, inside the filter has a 1/16” orifice that meters the return flow. No need for anything special with the hoses.

I used 1/8" soft bendable brake line. Now it's hard lines from the canister to the block. No more failed rubber lines.

I also replaced my hoses with CuNi Tubing. Looks great and no more leaks!
