Hello all,

Well its been about 4 months since I embarked on building a mandrel bender to make oil lines, and its bending...





Here's the first oil line, I'm going to check it in my car this weekend and send it (or a revision) to my friend with an original 914-6 mount as well as a Patrick Motorsports mount.





These will be zinc plated once they are done. Still unsure on price, I'm going to send out drawings to a mandrel bending company to see what the professionals will charge me to do their magic.

Cheers,
Don Welch

Call me and I'll come over to help you build the mock engine & tranny and get them up in the car. I'll even bring some Casadores Anejo & Coronas.

Really great pictures! Is the car in the picture currently completely dry of oil? I didn't see any drips, so it must be out of oil???

Great to hear!

The 6 is still in the air, with the H/E on the floor, waiting to test fit.

Just give me a heads up as to when I should be home to receive it! If I am home when it comes in I can have an answer for you in a few minutes!
