We should have inventory on 914-6/GT factory style hard lines soon. These are brass lines modeled off the real deal. These mount in the same location the factory did with their original GT lines. These will sell for $600.00 plus shipping.
To complete the routing to the front oil cooler we can also supply the following "Genuine" factory 901.107.331.12 oil lines for $62.00 each! (while "other" retailers stick you for $150.08 on their site!) You can buy a pair from us and still bank some change!!

Been super busy lately and have been meaning to add to the thread, but time has got away from me. It was me that snagged the lines off eBay, for on the face of it a decent price (sorry folks if I nabbed them off you) but you may have dodged a bullet and only time will tell
Ben PMd me at the weekend (IMG:style_emoticons/default/poke.gif) along with I'm guessing a bunch of other members, to gauge interest, the bottom line is that I'm still 99 percent sure I'd be a buyer Was super stoked initially about the eBay purchase and seller went out of his way crating them up so cannot really complain......but not quite the real thing and will need work before they would even begin to fit I fear as the shape is not right. They have been clearly fashioned off the real thing but, I think due to the issues of working with the material and / skill of fabricator they are not a perfect facsimile & in particular the top line where it goes over the jack point is not right Lines are not brass but plated CDS and would, at a minimum need more shaping / good clean before I would hook them up in an oil system. I was figuring on a strip back to clean steel, then re-plate, possibly with brass etc (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif) . Cost of mod, would I am guessing go a long way towards proper brass lines Check out Andy's lines in his thread against the eBay ones and you will see what I mean http://www.914world.com/bbs2/index.php?sho...1062&st=400 Ben, I would happily ship them but I honestly think we could end up with a poor Xerox copy of a copy of a copy (plus it's going to be expensive....to ship / customs and whatnot). We would also need a car with the holes cut in the longs / jack point mod to figure out how far off these lines really are Ultimately not sure if shipping these to you would actually help verses making from scratch / off known good photos if that makes sense? Ben really needs to borrow a brass set stateside to get this off the ground on a firm footing and there in lies the issue. No one has a set, or would appear not willing to lend Two steps forward and one back I fear (IMG:style_emoticons/default/headbang.gif) |
