I'm looking to build my own AN lines for oil tank for my -6 conversion, but I can't find any information on how long the lines have to be. Does anyone have the measurements for length on the lines needed? Please let me know. Thanks!

Not as easy as it might seem.
Too long and they will hang lower than you will like. Too short and well, if it fits will be susceptible to vibrations and probably excessive wear from rubbing on the chassis or something. Len Cummings of Autosport Engineering in Stowe MA made mine. He visited my home a couple of times to take proper measurements and has the crimping tools to make a proper hose. He made mine custom from the metric side on the tank, to the AN fitting on the Patrick cross over tube. It is perfect and his price is reasonable. Pm me if you want to make contact. He is a regular on Pelican as he makes custom hoses and fuel lines for the early 911 crowd. |
