Post by chochocho »

hello all,

i am looking to replace the hoses on the oil cooler hoses and looking for aftermarket type hose.

the hose sizes are 11.5x18.5 and 11.5x18.5x38

All I know is the first number is the diameter in millimeters.

11.5x18.5 is probably inner diameter and outer diameter

11.5x18.5x38 specifies the length, i suspect

When I did my tranny cooler install I used 3/8" line and it seems to be working so far. Not quite as tight of a slip fit but still snugs down hard.

FWIW.

1/2" hose fits the oil cooler fittings.
