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 |

I found several choices at mrmetric.com. None as thin as the original. Some quick work on a belt sander could fix that.
Never used mrmetric but the site says they accept small orders. That would work Ben. The nipple is about 1.25 long Mocal carries The 26 x 1.5 hose fittings. The guy there said they sell them to Porsche guys a lot. |
