I took it to a hydraulic shop and they crimped it for me, I did it in 2 stages, crimped one end, then installed the hose in the car, marked the other end for orientation, took it out and had the marked end crimped. Elephant racing told me the crimping tool to use, it's a Parker, but can't remember the number. Will check my records.

Elephant told me that they use a Parker machine with 26/16 Silver die set.

Found the invoice from Elephant Racing. For the hose end/crimp collar 30.5-31 mm O.D. hose, they use the Parker 26/16 crimp die set.

Does Elephant sell a version of the complex line fitting that attaches to the thermostat? Mine's a bit banged up.
