RedTwilight Posted May 31, 2015 Report Share Posted May 31, 2015 I rebuilt the oil cooler in my Cobra finally. Crunk it up to burp the cooling system and check for leaks. No leaks found! YAY! Then took it down the road to check everything out and make sure it's all OK. CAme back and found coolant leaking out like crazy.Thought... OH F*** No! The D**** oil cooler needs to be pulled again. Got looking around closer and to my relief found that it was just one of the coolant hoses had a hole in it. So now I need the hose that goes from the oil cooler to the thermostat housing. Trouble is I can not find the hose at any of the local parts stores and I only found the full kit online. Is there anywhere that I can get just the single hose? I don't have the money to get the full kit. Thanks in advance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
01yellercobra Posted June 1, 2015 Report Share Posted June 1, 2015 Can you post a pic? I might have a spare in my collection. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedTwilight Posted June 1, 2015 Author Report Share Posted June 1, 2015 It this one. The one coming off of the oil cooler itself. I'm going to try the Ford stealership this evening after work also. But if you happen to have one let me know in they don't have it. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RedTwilight Posted June 1, 2015 Author Report Share Posted June 1, 2015 Well just for everyone's knowledge, this particular hose is obsolete and not available at the Ford dealerships. Unless they have new old stock laying around. So I guess my next plan of attack will be to locate a hose that is close to the radius and cut to length.

95riosnake Posted June 2, 2015 Report Share Posted June 2, 2015 I know that pushrods are obviously a different animal, but I remember when I still ran my oil cooler, I replaced all the hoses on it...all of which were made of unobtanium. I just took all of them with me to the parts store and they looked through their selection and found ones that were the closest match. I only had to cut some length off them here and there. Even if Ford had still made them, they would be 3x as expensive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was just hoping to already have the hose on hand so that a 20 minute job (includes jacking up car and refilling system) doesn't turn into a 2 hour job.

RedTwilight Posted June 4, 2015 Author Report Share Posted June 4, 2015 This is what I have.Hey thanks for checking! It looks like that's the hose right next to the smaller resevoir hose that is missing. Again thanks for checking but I'm gonna find a hose that closely matches as close as I can Sat morning and cut that to length. If I don't find anything that'll work I'll let you know. Thanks a bunch though! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lanter Posted June 5, 2015 Report Share Posted June 5, 2015 I will take a look tonight and see if I have mine still. I know I cut some hoses up to make a new upper but I am not sure if that is the one I cut. If it isn't you can have it for the cost of getting it to you.

RedTwilight Posted June 6, 2015 Author Report Share Posted June 6, 2015 Thanks for the help and offers everyone! I ended up getting a new hose that is close to the curve needed and then cut it to fit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RedTwilight Posted June 16, 2015 Author Report Share Posted June 16, 2015 Got it from Napa. They looked up some part numbers and it was one of those that came up and said cut to fit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
