No

They have to be reused or made

Shelby Parts and Restoration in Green Bay, WI, had some made up about 5 years ago.

I asked last year and they said they were considering another run.

The oil coolers are only used on GT500's. Not GT350's.

They are made for the configuration of the oil cooler itself. The 67-8 oil coolers are unique to the Shelby's of those years.

The '69's use a different oil cooler and the hoses are "molded" to fit the installation.

The 67-8's are only original in air conditioned equipped cars.

For those reading in this context GT500 only.
