Oil Filter Lines

KGap has the sticker set for the filter.

K-Gap does sell them I got my set from them. Look at this link it lists all the decals that they sell.

Pacemaker500,



Hudsonkid is right, use solid metal lines. The exterior of braided lines will protect against physical damage. Internally, however, they can still blow and leak.

Now what if a certain little chatterbox were to read your post? Her little head would probably explode.

We'll call work and tell then that your brain crashed and you need to reboot.

BTW, I was just expressing shock and dismay at the thought of anyone guestioning the great and powerful OZ. How could anyone hate on the kid?

You can get good quality lines made at many industrial supplies, just bring in your old ones so they can get correct length and fittings, tell them that you need them for a remote oil filter. To shed a little rain on Hudson Kid , I am using hoses on my remote oil cannister, I would worry more about an all steel line vibrating and possibly cracking at the flared ends. Lou Cote

hydraulic lines would be a good reliable alternative here with pressure ratings in the 1000's they wont be stressed at 50-60psi and they are nice and flexible to avoid fatigue that might affect steel lines. a little pricier surely but you can do it yourself if you have a lathe. another job to add to my ever growing list...

I've used brake line on a couple now with no problem. It's neat and the oil filter is bolted to the side of the engine. The lines can be bent neatly and there is no vibration or movement between the filter and the engine. This setup will be permanent.

Then you better start to worry about your fuel and brake lines!

I don't know... Lou said they'll vibrate right off, or crack. :rolleyes:



Maybe his motor mounts are worn, thus causing a lot of vibration.



I bet I know what kind of oil lines are on his hudson, my guess they're not steel, brass, or copper.....

I think Lou also said he had a remote mounted filter which I would think should require flexible lines in his case.

To HudsonKid, for your info I have the late model AMC mounts on my Hornet.I have worked in transmission repair since 1985, and occasionally have seen cracks develop in the flared area. Lately I've seen some S-10 Blazers with the pushin coolerlines crack in the flare area. Bending metal lines can be done but I think my stainless braded lines look more period correct. Didn't mean to disturb Hornets nest, by suggesting use of flex able lines. Ha!! Lou

well, let me ask this, how similar is a trans line route and mounting as compared to a hudson oil filter?



If memory serves correct, the rest of us are running a rigidly mounted hudson style oil filter that is bolted to the engine, that should vibrate with the rest of the assembly at the same consistency. Why would that add to the stress level? remotely mounted, sure... on the engine, c'mon...



If a quick reference available line was out there, meaning one I could go to the tractor supply, buy and use, without much hassle, I would have went that route. But why bother, since hudsondad was so kind to include lines with the filter, I used them.



Oh yeah, how do you figure the bra(i)ded stainless lines look period correct. for what period?



And BTW, don't worry about the hornet's nest, we got our own thread... :cool:

Man, talk about not feelin' the love! Kid, Kid, you just don't get it. In order to be credible, it seems that we would have to be old enought (80+) to have raced cars that had artillary wheels and tillers. Then, people magically believe whatever you say.



I like the trans cooler line thought. With all of those metal lines snapping all over the world, I'm buying stock in companies that make brake and tran fluids as well as replacement lines. Then, I'm going to the garage and installing metal lines on my oil filter. That should help with cooling by eliminating at least 3.75 BTH/Hr. :rolleyes:



Sheesh, why do threads have to turn into pi$$ing matches?

IM JOKING! Note the sarcastic face at the end of my post. However, some minor cooling would occur when using metal lines.
