Hi All

Many people use 10mm transmission oil hose...
with barbed fittings and good hose clamps or earls fittings
Earls fitting are VERY expensive...
I use good quality hose clamps...
You can go for the braided oil hose but I think its overkill..
cheers
LEE
PS: I buy from local parts shops...
You could try Auto one or autobarn..

was the hose anything special Barls?
I have been using red air hose as used on brakes of trucks..
its rated at 1200PSI BP..
but because its so tough..
its hard to get the hose to seal properly with hose clamps..
it doesn't leak oil.... but its always oily to touch at the end...
on one of the hoses...
it would probably last forever..lol
its also hard to bent.. a long 90 degree is OK... but short bends are not possible,,,
cheers

1/2" diameter hose inside as a minimal, if you can afford it use speed pro braided hose with the aluminiun reusable ends, if you use the push on get
the correct hose that is rated for oil use and the correct temperature, also with the push on fitting's get the hose tails that do not require hose
clamps

Yes
I really should have went that way...
but I saw how much the earls fittings were when my son bought them.. for His remote oil filter on His engine... lol
LEE
PS" well I have found that I have used 12mm hose with the oil cooler I am using at present...
but I believe My 1500 engine single port only has 10mm oil galleries...?? Lee

Whatever you do...don't use AIR hose.
Make sure it is hydraulic hose!! Over time, the hot oil breaks down the air hose material and then POP! and you lose all your oil behind you.
Don't ask me how I know. 
I currently have the pirtek 500psi black hose with barbed fittings, but am also keen to update to a more reliable connection method.

Hi
I did see advertised somewhere lately..
a brand of aluminium reuseable hose fittings that are much cheaper than Earls... ???
The air hose I am using is red on the outside and it has a black inner core and cord between the black and red...
its - total flex multi non conductive 12mm 1200psi made in USA
it doesn;t say its air hose...??
it looks like its made of some sort of plastic... no rubber...

The inner black liner will start to break down over time and you'll end up with little black bits going into your oil system.

I get hydraulic pressure hoses made up, and have been using them for about 15 years. I am on my 3rd set - I replace them as soon as I have any damage
or wear. You can see them coming around the heater box on the right hand side of the photo.
When I remove the engine, I have a small joiner so I can join the hoses together when I disconnect them from the external oil cooler - stops oil
running everywhere and keeps dirt out of the system.
I once had one of the connections on the externa oil cooler crack, so I just dissconnected the hoses, joined them together and continued driving
(around town) for a week or so untill I had it repaired.

Thanks for all input. Looks like a mate can get some hoses made with an fittings. High pressure oil hose(3000psi rated I think) should handle this
ok......
BTW this is the pump I'll be running

3k hoses is way over kill, and the pump doesn't need to be a 30mm type, 26mm has always provided plenty of flow and can keep the pressure up, as long
as the engine tolerances are within spec
