Anyone use speed-flex SS lines & fittings for replacement oil lines??

[hikermikem]

Looking to replace my leaking oil lines on my '85 5500E - these are the 2 lines that deliver oil from the crankcase to the top end.

Mine are leaking & I'm considering replacing them with the same product i make my SS brake lines from:

Has anyone used this stuff for that application??

Looks like matching the fitting angles may be tricky though...

If they are the same as the 750/700 lines then one of the hose ends is a weird 8mm banjo that seems very hard to find.
Brake line banjo's would need the hole in the banjo opening up too to match the stock one.

If you find a solution let me know.

I've read through some of that thread off & on since it was posted long ago. I didn't realize it addressed oil lines.

I haven't pulled them off yet to investigate them yet - hopefully they're just standard sized banjos.
