Regarding the oil return line (from the engine scavenge line). The line/hose screws onto a fitting. Does the fitting for this line screw into female threads on the oil tank??
I can see the 32mm hex head on this fitting, but I do not want to put a wrench on it and find that it is welded in and damage the tank. The tank is still in the car. I had it out last year for a paint/refurbish but do not remember exactly the arrangement at that fitting. I would prefer not to have to remove the tank. Thanks |

yep, I was able to do some work this afternoon and found that that fitting is a welded in nipple with a retention nut that helps hold the tank in the car.
I am ordering fittings for an oil cooler set up. Any one know the thread size on that nipple?? I am thinking 26 x 1.25 Thanks |

I have never seen that on any of the 6 tanks I have ever seen. The 8mm studs are the only thing that holds them in the car.. |
