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 |

Yea you are right. When I searched the site for M26 and all the nuts came up I thought they were all M26. None of them actually are
Searched a couple other sites....nothing. No one actually even lists it on a size chart. Looks like you would have to make one from a hose fitting (Mocal does have them) or maybe Ben can make some. |
