Oil Cooler elbows

[Jordan Baker]

Im trying to figure out what goes between the oil cooler fins and the mounting brackets. When I took mine apart there seemed to be some kind of thin rubber/cloth wrapped around it. Sadly it was too far gone to be of any help in figuring out what it was.

Can anyone suggest what to use to replace it as I don't want to crush the fins with the hose clamps.

This leads into my second question... does anyone know of a place that sells the vintage style Jubilee clamps. I can only seem to find the modern ones that have the tightening screw fully enclosed.

The wrapping just appears to be the old style insulation tape. (rag/bitumen stuff)

Jordan if you can't find anything over there. Have a look at Paul Becks site at Vintage supplies. www.vintagesupplies.com He has various styles in brass. Look at items 726 and CA1454 page 60 in the catalogue I have for 2007. It's amazing what other stuff he produces. Ron

Thanks for the info on the bitumen cloth. Ive got some canvas and will try some tar on it.

I took a look at the site for the clips. They are close but not the same as the original type ive got elsewhere on the carrier. I'll post up a picture tonight showing the type I'm after.

Here are the clamps that are original to the carrier. So far I can't seem to find any like them available.

I would suggest that manufacturing has changed over the years to use less material for the same clamping effort.

I remember Jubilee being the premier brand in the UK years ago. Perhaps a google search in the UK might yield something or a post on www.hmvf.co.uk would put you in touch with those in the know in the UK.

There is a bible kept in our shop and that is the Spaenaur catalogue.

I think you will be lucky to find them like that nowadays.

Here is the company nowadays, perhaps an email with pictures to them?

Will those ones clean up and be reusable or are they shot?

Thanks and I'll check out the links.

The one I posted is usable and so is another one that I have. They hold the leather cover on where the trans joins the rear diff. I need some smaller sizes for the oil cooler and the rad hoses.

Hi Alex

I can buy the modern ones like this picture at any hardware store. The "screw" is enclosed. The kind I am after have an open "screw". I don't think they are made anymore.
