[QUOTE="firebrick43, post: 5069508, member: 5762"] If you want hardlines use hydraulic tubing, not pipe and especially not galvanized. Pipe has a bad habbit of cracking at the treads due to they way their made(cut) combined with crappy metal in high vibration environments. Hydraulic fitting are forged from much higher quality metal. Have you bought a cooler yet? A cooler is nothing more than metal tubing with a few fins attached. Buy a 6' section of hydraulic tubing of appropriate size. Have the shop that you buy it from put on ferrules, nuts, and 37 degree flare the ends and using a tubing bender bend in half. Paint it black for better emmissivity and mount it out of harms way. It's a cheap cooler. [/QUOTE]
