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) |

Any new oil hose that you buy will be of a newer design with crimped hoses on steel ends.
They work just fine. If you go that route I'd be interested in your old aluminum fittings. For the sake of full disclosure, the aluminum originals are re-buildable but the process is a bit difficult and it is easy to damage the parts. Attached are photos of the tool I devised to tighten the tank hose with the tank in the car. I whittled down a 36mm rear axle tool sold for Beetles. Then I drilled a 1/2" square hole in it for a long extension. Still a bit fideley but it works. As Luke said, the pictured fitting appears to be coming undone. This is not a good thing.
