Well, they don't do outright refunds, only exchange. I thought it was high too.

I could get them done in stainless braided with the factory ends huh? I'm going to look into that, Thanks for the idea. I love shiny new parts on old dirty engines, hehe.,,,,BB

Man some times the answer is right in your face and being frustated doesnt let you see. Thats why i love this forum becuase sometimes it takes someone from outside the box to spot or give you a push in the right direction. Right on beater. Thats the quickes cheapest and best fix for the lines. https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...IR#>/bigok.gif

Just dropped off the cooler at a pretty cool place called American Heliarc. The radiator shop wouldn't touch it with a ten foot pole. I knew I was in the right place when I walked in. Old Harleys all over the place, and it was CLEAN looking shop with black and white checker floor. I half expected to see a flat black 32 Ford sitting there:) He found two more cracks than I did by just glancing at it for a few seconds. They're going to fix the cracks, lay a fresh bead around the base of each fitting, and reface the sealing surfaces.

I have a feeling it will never leak again. Now onto getting some new lines made. And yes, thanks Beater!!,,,,BB

No luck on the lines. I did about four hours of, try this place, try that place with no luck. They either could not make them, or could not do them in stainless....a COMPLETE waste of time, unfortunately. The ONE place that said they could make them, could only do them in standard rubber, was $100 to start. They were talking about cutting the ends off, welding new barbs on, blah blah blah. I could do that myself??? So I guess I'd rather buy the mazdatrix hoses, if they make them for the first gen.,,,,BB

They did a nice job, and FAST!!! I took it in just after lunch, and it was done by five. If only the lines

had worked out. Oh well, nothing money can't fix https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub..._DIR#>/sad.png https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...IR#>/boink.gif Looks great, eh!?,,,,BB

OH jeez, found another crack this morning. Back it goes!,,,,BB

it does look good. pretty neet job. did he pressure tested it?

Supposedly he did, with air. About to head out the door, hopefully their hours

are correct and they're open from 10-1 today.,,,,BB

he needs to test it with vacume and seee if it holds for ten minutes. at any rate good luck in your journey and cooler.

Sweet, they were open. They had it done in less than a half hour, for $20. I'm going to install it, and the used long line in an hour or so.,,,,BB
