sorry did not mean to say the fitting were cheep. I work on an offshore oilrig and deal with hydrolic fitting all the time. Mind you I deal with 3500 PSI Working pressure. You are right the fitting are good to 200+psi. I just have found that crimped fitting are always better and give you less to worry about. The commet I made about being cheep was not directed at the fitting themselves but at people saying not to buy a chhep ol cooler, which this is not. But then being happy with socketless connectors when crimped on ends are better if not a bit of overkill though. Word of advice check those JIC fitting everytime you change your oil as they do like to slowly back off from vibration. But for the love of god dont over torque them or you will be asking for a leek.

Ah...No problem. I've done a few cooler installs, and like you say, using quality components rarely causes a problem. If I was dealing with 3500psi pressures I'd use crimped too!

Hey Steve,

I am putting my cooler kit together myself also. Do you mind sharing the part numbers/dimensions of your sandwich plate, connectors, and hose?

Thanks!
