Oil line routing for a six. Options

[pete-stevers]

I am building my second 914 and putting a 2.4 six in and building it with hopes of building it out to a hotter 2.5 long stroke next winter... So I am putting in a external cooler up front. I am looking for the best ways to run the lines.. I dont want to run GT hardlines. What did you do?? Pictures welcome!!! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

Thanks for all the responses. And sorry to hijack the original posters thread. I purchased Ben's hard lines but decided I did not want to run the lines thru the passenger compartment. My oil cooler I am using has the inlet and outlet on the passenger side. I am looking to run lines up and back on the passenger side. I would also consider one up the passenger and one back down the drivers side. I do not plan on going into the Frunk at the very front of the car. Most of the installs I have seen that run lines down the passenger side come out into the frunk at the passenger side rear. This requires going into the space occupied by the gas tank and then coming into the frunk. What I have not found pictures of is where people go into the gas tank area on the passenger fender. Would love some pics. What looks to make the most sense is to go in at the top rear of the passenger fender and then down under the tank to come into the frunk. Any pics of this type of configuration and comments welcomed.

Just be aware that any significant change in elevation will make oil changes a bitch.
Going over the top of the fender will make the lines run higher than the top of the oil tank which may also introduce issues.
