Oil Cooler / Accusump Lines?

[dhardison]

I have an oil cooler and accusump to install in our race car. My question is, has anyone used anything other than stainless braided lines to plumb their oil cooler or accusump? I hate building braided lines. Just looking for an easier & less expensive option that will still function safely.

I can't help with the expensive part of braided lines, but for ease of assembly you should try the fitting tools from "Koul Tools" (http://www.koultools.com/). Braided line assembly has always been a PITH (pain in the hand) for me as well, but these tools make it a cinch. Summit Racing carries them as well.

Oh btw, these are NOT for use with TFE (teflon lined hose). I found that out the hard way.....
