Or so I was promised by Karen last week - due in this week, and hopefully being posted out by the end of the week.
Unless HEL let her down yet again.......:BangHead:
Then I can stop worrying about "when" the rusty things will let go and smother my rear wheel with lubricant...
So if you're one of the pre-order group, keep your fingers crossed and chase them up :icon_tfno:

I'll say one thing about Karen, she keeps her word and tries to keep everyone up on the state of "backorders" taking into account the ages of the bird now I think possibly she/HEL have been caught out by the surge in demand for Oil Lines if mine hadn't already been replaced I would order some early to save having to wait until they've been made.

They have ALWAYS been a problem mate. And to be fair it aint HELL s fault but the firm that makes the ends for the pipes that bolt to the engine and oil cooler

Yes, I know, I know, it says BLACKBIRD CAR... Oh, go on, have some fun...
(I have seen a Blackbird car = some tine Fiat with a bird motor bolted in the back... Was quick off the line!

FFS seems Andrew holds president over the HEL company and has been pushing his "Car" agender on to them!!:rolleyes:

Clueless in most things
I must admit that when I've used Karen/Jaws, I've always found them bang on the money. As to your oil lines, start lubing the old connectors to give them the best chance of coming out cleanly

Feeling exceptionally lucky, just replaced my oil cooler pipes with the HEL ones from Jaws and all four of my crankcase bolts came out easily from my old pipes!
