Does anyone have a state-side source of the fittings for the Flotec hoses as
shown here as a 45 degree female fitting?  The stainless steel hoses are
binding directly on the motor mount and the suspension upright.  A smaller
diameter tube would appear to work better.

Thanks.

BTW, I made my own brackets today for the oil cooler, suspended in front of
the radiator at a similar slant.

I just purchased an oil cooler kit from TRF, and of course, there are
questions.  Has anyone on the list ever installed one on a late 79-80 Spit?
If so, which is the best way to route the stainless steel hoses?  Did you
have to cut a hole in the right side (steel) radiator valance panel?  Are
the hoses attached to the top of the cooler?  The Flotec oil cooler does
not have a thermostat (like in Pauls Whitey) in the oil takeoff plate.
Will the lack of an oil thermostat be a problem here in Savannah?

TIA
