Alam M. A fix for the DTM oil air cooling hose

JogyverJogyver
Alan, I became tired of crushing the DTM oil air cooling hose so I came up with a solution.A stainless steel crush proof hose. It took a lot fitting up ...it's well worth the effort. Had a clearence problem with the rear deck brackets. The fix was to trim the brackets. Unfortunately the CMC brackets are made up of pot metal. One broke....... Oh SHNAAAAAPPPPP! Well I rummaged through the ol scrap bin and I had and found a piece of 3/16 thick billet aluminum . So I got a little creative and fab'ed up two new rear deck brackets. Only a few more things to do before the Carlisle meet.

TC the process was completd by a controlled intensional forming process. A BFH!
The soft paper-like hose was always getting pinched.It looked bad too. The stainless flex hose was ovalized for clearance and to create a sharper bend. The prime shape of the stainless hose is only able to bend at a 6" radius. Ovalize it and you 'll get a 3-4 " bend radius. Had to tig weld a piece of tubing at each end to get a good mounting area .
Another JoGyver tip!
