I wasn't paying attention when I pulled my tank to put in the SS lines and need to know which fitting is feed and which is return. Also, is the return line under the same pressure as the feed?

Thanks

I think the factory ones were made of fiber or some such.  Maybe you can re-use them.  Since you took your tank to a radiator shop, they might have something as well.

I found my notes from when I spoke with the Porsche dealer.  He gave me the deminsions for the washers:

big one:        16mm outside dia. / 10mm inside dia.

smaller one:  16mm outside dia. / 8mm inside dia.

I ran into this problem with my 914/6, can't remember whether it was the flow or return line, but I was able to use a beetle nut (I stripped mine), washer and screen on mine without any problems . Any bug shop, and maybe even your flaps should be able to score the whole assembly. No leaks.
