914World.com _ 914World Garage _ New oil lines

Posted by: PanelBilly Apr 23 2018, 07:33 PM

I've finished the supply line and now its tucked away from Ben's heat exchangers. Ignore the brake line that rubs. It will be fine when I finish putting the retainer clips on it

Now for the return line. This one is a bit more work. Still needs a few bends to fit closer to the oil tubes and clear the HE. I'm going to use a flexable line to fit out thru the body and connect to the tank

I got a lot of flack for my T fitting. I'm supposed to have it safety wired. You might want to do it before you fill with oil.

Good idea

Time is running out and I need to get the car sorted out before the WCR. I compromised on a solid return line and modified the Patrick hard line to be shorter so it wouldn’t interfer with the heat exchanger. I ran the old braided line back to the tank.

I got the hole drilled in the engine tin on one side but the teeth on the hole saw wore out before I could finish the second side. The cashier at Harbour Freight said I could bring the set back if I wasn’t happy with the quality. Looks like I need to do that.

While I was in there, I modified my breather canister so it would be easier to drain. Now I just open a valve under the car.
