Thanks to the help and encouragement of local member "Jeff" I have made more progress in getting my cooling system finished up for the six conversion project.
After we got the external thermostat mounted we decided on which way I was going to route the lines. I took an old garden hose and fished it through the longs and it exited up by the defroster where the heater hose comes out. Since I will not be using heaters on this car it will not be a problem. Here is a look at the mockup so far. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/i954.photobucket.com-11663-1338783555.1.jpg) (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/i954.photobucket.com-11663-1338783555.2.jpg) This is the front trunk with the new fuel system installed. I had to re-mount everything slightly lower than before due to the fact it is a gravity feed system. The entire fuel system is done in 3/8 inch hard-line now. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/i954.photobucket.com-11663-1338783555.3.jpg) So the question I have is what type of oil lines should I run from the thermostat to the front cooler and back to the thermostat? I was originally thinking about using braided lines but now I'm thinking about the blue silicone lines, since it seems as though some members have used this with success. I'd appreciate any input you may have on arriving at that decision. Thanks in advance. |
