I didn't say you could get the hoses done in stainless, I just said you could get replacements made. Have them use high-temp, high-pressure hose, like power steering hose. Yes, Racing Beat makes hoses for first gens. I put a set on my car before I found out I could get them made locally. It does look like they did a nice job on the cooler, that's what mine looks like and it's held up for a season and a half of autocross and occasional driving. I hope it all seals well this time!

Well, it was me who said I wanted to do them stainless. No place could, or even in the fabric type braid either. The only place that would even do them, was talking about

cutting the fittings up and welding new barbs on, for a total of $100+tax. With stainless

AN fitting lines at $120, having them made out of plain rubber for $100+ seemed a little dumb. Especially when they were using my fittings to begin with.,,,,BB

Forgot to mention it, but it's installed and not leaking. No more driveway drips!! Woohoo!!,,,,BB
