I had to cut the pipes on my oil cooler when i stripped my donor as i couldnt undo the nuts.
Is there any way i can join the remaining parts on the cooler and the engine with anything?
Im trying to avoid buying new pipes as they are expensive, even from a breakers
If anyone has done this before pics would be handy.

Something like the brass barbed hose joiner?

Bet you'll try harder to get them off next time!

What material are the pipes you cut? Metal/rubber/braided? I had to cut some sections out of my oil cooler (as the pipes were much longer than needed) and I got some rubber oil hose from local motor factors for a couple of quid

Well i had to cut in two places. One metal and one rubber but the rubber end joins to a metal section

I cant imagine theres anything special about the hose?
- You should be able to get rubber hose from a hose supplier for buttons for metres of the stuff. As long as it can stand the oil and the temp your sorted. Simple low presure hydraulic hose or simular.
