I am assembling my 1971 914-6 and can not figure out how to tighten the line in the center of the photo. It appears to be a pipe thread on either end...the right (tank side) is loose. can it be tightened by hand? special tool? The collar has no flats but rotates on the line itself.
Thanks! George  (IMG:http://file:///C:/Users/GCThielen/Desktop/oil%20line.jpg) |

There are "nuts" at all connection points. They are a variety of 28, 32 and 36 mm. Harbor freight sells a wrench set that they call "service wrenchs" for about $45.00 that includes all of the necessary sizes. I am not sure that you can tighten the one on the tank without removing the tank. Maybe you can, but it is very tight in there. Hmm....... just looked more closely at your picture, I am not sure that that one fitting on the tank to cooler line 90 tightens. The "nut" may be part of a factory made up connection. Can't remember as actually the line disconnects at the fitting going through the frame "J" bracket. Can someone else out there with one in hand confirm?? |
