Engine oil cooler line help

Hi, hoping to get a little help. I have a 94 HR on a chevy P30 chassis. The metal part of my engine oil cooler lines have started to leak and I patched them with unions but would rather replace them as I mangled them a bit. They are discontinued from Chevy and no one around me seems to know what type of connector they have. Anyone have any idea? It's part 11 and 8 on the diagram. If I could just get the connectors I could make my own or better yet buy a foot long pre-made piece. I guess worst case it get a new cooler with lines.

Thanks in advance.

That looks like -10 SAE flares. Did they have O-rings to start or were those part of your replacement?

Unless lines rust through or an o-ring has gotten old and hard there's no reason for a leak. if it has a flare, the primary reasons for leaks are dirt on the flare surface if someone has taken the joint apart and put it back together again. Even near microscopic dirt will keep the flares from sealing and will leak through the threads. You can tell by looking for circular scratches on the flare surfaces.

If it's o-rings just replace it.

If you have to re-make those parts the metal sections will probably cost an arm and a leg to fabricate, but having hoses made with the right ends ought to be a snap. Go to a hydraulic supply store and see if you can get all the ends and the hose. then go home, install the ends on the coach, and run the hose, marking where the ends go (both length and rotation) then take the hose back to have it all crimped together. You'll have to rig another clamping system, probably two Adel clamps held with the same center bolt.

Years ago, I had a problem with the engine oil cooler lines on a 454 powered Southwind motorhome, and replaced them with single braid Aeroquip lines that I fabricated myself.
