I saw a previous posting from KerryH on a question of oil line sizing and fittings.
I thought I'd post some pics as to how I did mine in my 3.6 914-6. I did all my line in -16 Aeroquip Startlite hose.Originally I did it in braided ss hose but switched to the lite-weight startlite.I found that the startlite with the kevlar sheilding instead of the ss is much easier to work with.It bends alot easier,no bloody fingers from being poked w/ wires,and it won't ruin your fittings,when you take them apart to re-use them for another application. I got all the stuff from the website below.He's a local guy buying Nascar takeoff from local race teams.To give an example,the -16 Startlite,I bought a 25' roll,it was brand new,never used,and $2.50 a foot. If ya think that ain't reasonable,check your local aeroquip guy for his price on this stuff. race parts My oil supply pipe on my car I make myself from 1" lum.conduit and a couple of old -16 fittings. the oil return pipe is a 911 line I got at Hershey this year for 20.00,I heated it,formed it,then tigged on a -16 fitting to the end.I covered everything in aeroquip fireshield. Both line cost less than $100.00 total but a lot of trial an error fitting to look cosmetically correct. Originally the oil supply line was done from hose,but I didn't like the look,cause it looked clumsy and bulky.Hense,I made a hard line from alum. Hope you all enjoy Ron Attached image(s) |
