My oil cooler pipes are leaking really badly now. Thinking of fitting a compression fitting and then just standard rubber pipe connected with a barbed fitting. Oil cooler pipe is the worst and has an outer diameter of 5/8". Only connectors I can find are £40 each and I need 4 of them!

I thought he had a refurbed FIP on it?
Ironically I do, hasn't worked since it went on in December, which replaced the one that went on in October but failed in November. CN4X4 stopped answering my calls, so slowly getting the tools and parts to fix it all myself.
Don't mean things can't go wrong after time. I think its a part that gets overlooked

Does it take a load of cranking? Until the static is lowered the pump readings will be all over the place. You should be able to slightly loosen the bolts and tap it towards the engine a little with a block of wood to get it more around the 50ish mark. It’s gonna be much much better once you’re done

I think I might need @brianp38dse or @gstuart for their opinion here!
5/8" is nearly but not quite 15 mm? My house is all imperial pipework and I know damn well that 15 or 22 mm olives leak every time but you can get olives from Screwfix that fit imperial and take up the slack.
If I were to use a 15 mm fitting with one of those imperial olives, would that hold against oil pressure of 4 bar?

When I get the time and space to do my triumph triple top end I will be getting a local engineering firm to make me up some ARP style dual thread studs to replace the standard stretch bolts.
You need to take the caliper off and disc undo the back blate and move it round a bit to give better access then give head of that set screw a bloody good headache before you try again its a word of pain if you shear it off, give it some heat if you can aswell did that on my first L322 and this one ( did both sides on both of them).
I have the first one he sent me that failed. Unfortunately I sent back my good but a bit leaky pump shortly after the first was fitted. Never did get back my core charge.
It does, bigger issue is it doesn't rev at all, put your foot down and wait. The old girl hasn't been drivable since this pump was fitted. I've got the lads in the metal bay at work making me a timing pin, and I'll get a static timing kit ordered.
I would always use metric olives with metric fittings & vice versa. I used 15mm solder & compression fittings for some 8-bar airline feeds in my garage with no issues.
Have you tried asking some of those custom hose companies that do made to measure stuff ? I googled this "oil cooler pipes made to measure" and these came up.
