I was looking online at a site that showed a bunch of 914/6 GT stuff. The link....

And the racing oil filter that replaced the engine mounted oil cooler got me to thinking.. (Oh shit, we are in trouble.. Clay is thinking again).

Why do we go to all the trouble to modify the metal tube coming out of the bottom of the oil cooler. Why not just remove it and thread the hole? Then put in either an AN or Metric fitting for the oil line. It's much easier to tap a hole than it is to TIG weld on an AN fitting.

I've done that before, actually works really well. If you have a later large oil line oil cooler, you can just cut off the end right up to the support. Run a tap for a 12AN fitting, it really just puts little groves in the oil cooler pipe, but enough that you can thread and even snug down a little bit on a 90 alum 12AN fitting. Not much though. I used JB weld around the threads. It was the only one I did like that and 6 months later the guy says it works fine, no leaks. Go figure. Easy, cheap and if you had to, you could remove it if you had to replace it. Sort of cool. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/smile.gif)
