Two suggestions
1. SS lines are like files and will abrade anything they lay against.  Given
time and movement they will cut like a file.  Make sure they don't touch
anything and if touching is unavoidable, insulate them with a wrap of
rubber, or nylon.  I know of an off road racing team that wasn't paying
attention and filed a hole right through the side of an oil filter.
2. Counter hold the fittings on the oil cooler with a wrench when loosening
or tightening the hoses to the oil cooler.  Otherwise you risk twisting the
fitting right off the oil cooler.  Yes, I have seen it done.

Guys:

I have decided to install stainless steel oil cooler lines in my 66 MGB and
probably the oil cooler unit.  Any tricks?  Suggestions?  What size nut is
on the cooler lines at the cooler?



Thanks,

Ray
