So thanks to Glenn I was able to have his factory GT lines scanned and there is a company in California making them for me.. We are still hashing out materials as they feel the current Brass on the market is not good quality.. Looking like stainless then yellow zinc plated will be what we go with. We are having 50 sets made and 4 sets spoken for already..
They will be bending next week and start shipping the following.
Price needs to be finalized based off of the material we end with but will be less then 650 a set and probably less then that.
So how many would be interested?

That's a terrific price for this item. I am sure a lot of people will jump on this as a perfect solution for running front oil coolers.

Interestingly it cost me 95 to ship the originals to them and I made a wood crate.. This was through ups

We are talking about boxes with foam supports throughout the box..

To my knowledge no company makes anything that replicates the factory GT setup.. All the kits I am aware of are just their own version.. Mine are to replicate factory in fit and function.
The front Patrick cooler setup would be a good match but the connections would be different.. I will be making a turn key setup as the next step.

Ben - since you are doing the GT lines, will you also do the GT console and pressure relief valve. They are hard to track down and rather pricey.

Pipe lengths / dimension too?
With Ben's hard lines and all the rest of the parts I've been collecting over 5odd years, I've nearly most the whole system together, including a rake load of good used alloy fittings to build as many of the flexibles as I can to match factory originals. That said I'm still missing some fittings. Decent straights and the smaller 45 / 90 degree are really hard to find
Waiting to see if Ben is going to make up the T pipe as well
Thanks to Ben and Glenn for making this happen
