914World.com _ Member Vendors _ NLA: 914-6/GT Oil Hardlines

Posted by: Eric_Shea Aug 28 2010, 05:44 PM

We should have inventory on 914-6/GT factory style hard lines soon. These are brass lines modeled off the real deal. These mount in the same location the factory did with their original GT lines. These will sell for $600.00 plus shipping.

To complete the routing to the front oil cooler we can also supply the following "Genuine" factory 901.107.331.12 oil lines for $62.00 each! (while "other" retailers stick you for $150.08 on their site!) You can buy a pair from us and still bank some change!! ohmy.gif

If you're GT crazy... these are the lines for you.

Hey Eric

and while you're at it all the other kinky stuff for in the engine comp. ? You've already got the PRV
just askin'

Hey Rory... good to see you here.

Chances are good that the next 6 production units will be pre-bent with "no ends" so they can be custom ordered in any size you'd like. That way, no adapters should be needed.

First set is done and installed:

These used the 28mm ends:

Hi David,

We can ship anywhere. Just a matter of getting them into production at this point. The final buck has been made. The idea was to make the sets without ends and you could custom order the ends needed.

The attachments are standard 911 fare. Not included but available via part number.

I'll check on these as I have others asking.

Hi Eric did you ever get the hard lines made.

Eric,
Can you explain how your lines are so inferior to the ones sold by Elephant Racing that you charge $1000 less? I see they include the other lines and the thermostat but Holy Cow!

Could it be that you are just an all-round nice guy? biggrin.gif

This goes for $1600 plus tax and shipping???

Posted by: Mzalmanek Nov 25 2012, 05:59 PM

I need2 sets. What is the price for metal and rubber lines?

Posted by: Eric_Shea Nov 27 2012, 05:43 PM

I'll keep everyone posted as we get more lines produced.

The Elephant kit is a complete system and that factory thermostat is quite pricey. I think he's inline with his pricing.

Our kit is different as it is an exact duplicate of the factory 914-6/GT that that runs along the drivers side. If you're building a GT replica and want to be exact, this is the only way to go. If all that doesn't matter to you, the folks at Elephant have always made "excellent" turn key products.

Mzalmanek - I'll be in touch. I pulled your number from your post but have it on file here. Safer that way.

I am ready for a set as well Eric!

No, sorry Nathan. Even if you go straight to the source for that thermostat the most expensive one they sell is $176.

I know your production on these has been frustrating but put me down for a set...

Posted by: 9146BRUCE Aug 16 2013, 02:25 PM

Hi Eric
So I given up on Jeff its been 2 years since he contacted me about the lines so is there any chance you can get a small batch made.
Bruce

PS: I see that roadglue has final gone, up until yesterday I could still log on from my work computer and see all the pictures.

Posted by: ConeDodger Aug 27 2013, 06:48 PM

I hear that a batch is being made right now. By Jeff...

Posted by: scraperhand Jan 18 2014, 05:47 PM

Eric, sent you a pm about a set of these,any update

Posted by: SixerJ Aug 27 2014, 12:23 AM

This thread seem a very cold topic so hoping that it's not totally dead sad.gif as I would love to purchase a set (with or without metric fittings)

I'm slowly collecting parts for as near as Werks GT as possible & was considering the complexities of even making some / started research into mandrel benders etc. Then stumbled across this

At some point in the future I will start a build thread and hope I can achieve 50% of what socalandy has done as the bar is extremely high now / I'm starting from a low base when it comes to 914-6 originality

I know I'm a newbie but Mark Epstein can vouch for me as I purchased a set of Eric's GT converted calipers off him last year

Thanks
Jon

agree.gif Jon is a good guy and doing some cool stuff with Porsche in the UK. I still need a set of these for my car.

Posted by: Matt Romanowski Aug 27 2014, 02:28 PM

Here are some more photos of the factory GT lines. I know Mark (the restorer) made the lines for his car a bunch of others. I don't know if he has anymore though.

Mark doesn't have any of those Lines anymore - I had a Set of his - Nice!

Posted by: SixerJ Aug 29 2014, 07:01 AM

Ok, thanks everyone for the info. I'll PM Eric to try find out what the status is

Apart from Eric & Raredrive (I've tried Armano already) does anyone have any other leads in the US who might have the chassis oil lines?

Failing that does anyone have any templates, specifications, measurements so I can continue to investigate manufacturing a set (or sets)

Finally have a great Labor Day

Fingers crossed

Jon

PM'd Eric, I'm now on the wait-list for a set

Just need to find the rest of the factory lines and a filler neck and all of the other -6 stuff the PO sold off the car.....

I know Auto Atlanta has the Oil Lines. Hopefully someone else has them too so you don't have to deal with them.

I'm sure someone here has a Filler Neck (I do, but it is not for sale) - put a WTB ad in the Classifieds

Posted by: Cairo94507 Feb 27 2015, 03:30 PM

I have a set of these lines on order for my Six- I am hoping (and praying) that the manufacturer is making them. I love the look and the quality of these lines. My last Six had the braided SS lines running up the driver side long and it worked good enough. But for this Six I want to have the best and these lines on Eric's car are the bomb! (oh, can I say "bomb" on the inter web? ohmy.gif unsure.gif confused24.gif )

Posted by: SixerJ Feb 28 2015, 02:15 AM

Of course. I would love to see these readily available to our crowd. This should be an excellent product that will serve us all well. Michael

Posted by: Cairo94507 Apr 18 2015, 08:47 AM

It is my hope that Scotty, upon returning from Hershey, will be posting some update photos. Eric just stopped off at Scotty's earlier this week and took the measurements for the soft lines to connect the GT hardline to the thermostat and cooler. That should actually wrap up the entire GT cooling system.

I can't remember who actually has a set off their car to take a pattern from, Eric I think was going to pick up an original factory set off someone, possibly
Sixnotfour I think as he was making them a while ago

There is definitely a demand for the GT hardlines. Since I originally posted have got nearly all the factory GT parts together (much of it NOS) apart from the hardlines and some of the engine flexy lines

Looks like the Elephant Racing kit went from $1600 to $2188 in the time this thread has been open....yikes!

That's insane.

I don't think the old version went over the front wheel but I could be wrong. It is a nice kit and there's a lot to be said about a bolt on product vs. building your own. I don't have the skills to build my own. sad.gif

Posted by: forrestkhaag Jan 12 2017, 04:07 PM

Agree with Mark here. A kit is a nice thing on something this involved tooling wise. Also, from what my research says, the factory lines did not go up and over the wheel as Mark correctly questioned / Thru the cabin and on to the front cooler in the front trunk area. http://www.pbase.com/9146gt/image/22239495

Posted by: JmuRiz Jan 13 2017, 12:34 PM

They probably made their version go on the passenger side and up the wheel well because that's how the 911 is (their area of primary expertise).

I do like that idea, but for that price they would have to include the cooler and ALL of the oil lines (from tank to engine cooler, breather, etc).

BTW - Looks like my 2.7 build will have more parts involved (not as good a core as I'd hoped) so maybe I'll have to do the front cooler route for the hotter engine.

Posted by: SierraNevada Jun 10 2017, 11:24 PM

Does anyone produce these hard brass lines besides Elephant Racing? Is Eric still at it? If anyone has a set or knows of a new set please PM me.

Posted by: SixerJ Jun 12 2017, 12:25 AM

Don't think so, you, me and a couple of others bump the thread but I can't even figure out who has a set to make patterns from

I was hoping they may find their way to McMark, MB911 etc. Maybe Merick in EMEA

I'm definitely in for a set

Posted by: SixerJ Oct 23 2017, 02:45 PM

Been super busy lately and have been meaning to add to the thread, but time has got away from me. It was me that snagged the lines off eBay, for on the face of it a decent price (sorry folks if I nabbed them off you) but you may have dodged a bullet and only time will tell

Ben PMd me at the weekend poke.gif along with I'm guessing a bunch of other members, to gauge interest, the bottom line is that I'm still 99 percent sure I'd be a buyer

Was super stoked initially about the eBay purchase and seller went out of his way crating them up so cannot really complain......but not quite the real thing and will need work before they would even begin to fit I fear as the shape is not right. They have been clearly fashioned off the real thing but, I think due to the issues of working with the material and / skill of fabricator they are not a perfect facsimile & in particular the top line where it goes over the jack point is not right

Lines are not brass but plated CDS and would, at a minimum need more shaping / good clean before I would hook them up in an oil system. I was figuring on a strip back to clean steel, then re-plate, possibly with brass etc confused24.gif . Cost of mod, would I am guessing go a long way towards proper brass lines

Check out Andy's lines in his thread against the eBay ones and you will see what I mean

http://www.914world.com/bbs2/index.php?showtopic=101062&st=400

Ben, I would happily ship them but I honestly think we could end up with a poor Xerox copy of a copy of a copy (plus it's going to be expensive....to ship / customs and whatnot). We would also need a car with the holes cut in the longs / jack point mod to figure out how far off these lines really are

Ultimately not sure if shipping these to you would actually help verses making from scratch / off known good photos if that makes sense?

Ben really needs to borrow a brass set stateside to get this off the ground on a firm footing and there in lies the issue. No one has a set, or would appear not willing to lend

Two steps forward and one back I fear headbang.gif

So a couple of updates. Was able to get the brass lines off to the manufacturer. Looks like steel or Brass is the same price.. Will probably go brass. The major hold up is the fire's in California are not allowing the employees to get to the manufacturer so things slowed.. Still making progress.

Will send you a PM, I'm in for brass with metric fittings



They are happening.. I imagine shipping is going to be the next challenge.

I would cut out plywood in a rectangle and strap the lines down. Then cover with bublewrap in a cardboard box.
We get sent brand new 911 hardlines in just plain cardboard boxes and 25% come through bent beyond use. It wastes hundreds of dollars but the shipping department doesn’t seem to care.

Wow. I've never seen anyone reproduce the GT lines. This is awesome!



Is there a "sign up" for these...and...if so, can you add me to the list?

Yes, I get that. I just wonder why no one (till now) has put together a repro kit.

There are people making them but they are more expensive then most are willing to pay. If you are going to use aluminum ends they will be $100-150 each end.
I paid over $1000 for that set back when they were still available (over 20 years ago).

Yup....it was a great set.
(un?)fortunately, I already had some significant items, ie..almost all, except the soft lines, fittings and bolts...and the hard lines were in gestation....
So
still scrounging about....

Planning on 50 sets for 1st week in January..

Posted by: mb911 Dec 28 2017, 04:42 PM

So going back and forth on materials.. I am being told Brass as not an ideal material as the quality is sketchy .. Stainless is the next option and could get that plated in yellow zinc..

Gonna start a group buy next week for 10 sets.. Regardless of material they will look original.

Posted by: wes Dec 29 2017, 12:25 AM

I’d like to get in on one of the 10 if possible thanks.

Looking forward to final info on materials and end fitting details - factory metric foe me!

Any thoughts on the T pipe and flexi yet?

Posted by: mb911 Dec 30 2017, 04:03 PM

Stainless and metric fittings are now for sure.. Brass was too much of a liability as the quality of raw materials was to low.. The other pipes and fittings will happen.. Trying to think through a 911 t stat as an option as a retro fit to the system.

Here you go next to Glenn's factory set. Will be shipping finished products next week..Attached Image

Now they look fabulous! Will reply to your PM

Posted by: mb911 Mar 10 2018, 07:30 AM

All group buy orders have shipped.. Retail is now 690 plus shipping. Oil lines are ready and in stock..

Posted by: Eric_Shea Mar 21 2018, 09:04 AM

***Highest Recommendation***

The fit on these lines is "P-E-R-F-E-C-T". Rarely do we see an aftermarket product that simply works this well right out of the box.

Special thanks to Glenn for loaning out his set of OEM lines and Ben for all of the fancy leg work getting this to a final product. smilie_pokal.gif

That is all... biggrin.gif
