When I built my /6 conversion I found I could readily source rubber oil lines that work with those fittings by going to the local hydraulic stuff supply store. I have found that even a fairly large one will be happy to help.

Michel,
Do you have a spec on the hose and the name of the place where you found it?

My brother couldn't find one locally and even tried to buy a replacement hose from Porsche. They quoted an outrageous price and never delivered it even after waiting for months.

And me too.

Carl, should I decide to try the "re-seal" approach, where exactly do I apply the sealer?
On the outer surface of the hose before re-inserting into the fitting?

Thanks very much for the detailed info. and pictures. I had no idea that the rubber hose could be separated from the aluminum fittings.

Hi Jim,
Since the hose end comes into contact with a large surface area of both the inner and outer fittings then the sealer can be applied to both surfaces of the hose. Obviously, the risk of getting sealer into the engine is greater if there's excess on the inner surface.

OK, I don't have any of the supply hose left. I think I threw out what I had left, and what's on the car does'nt have markings. I remember it was relatively expensive stuff: armored (steel mesh) thin wall construction, so it would be flexible. I've got a few shots of my setup that follow. Further down will be shots fo the return line, with the markings clearly shown.

I'm in Canada, and I love stuff made in the USA, including this site !
Here's a broader shot of the return line:

In the last shot, the aluminum you see is a sleeve I added in addition to the fitting at the end of the line, to keep the hose from rubbing on the shelf.
Here's the other end of the scavenge hose, where it connects to a Porsche fitting, on the passenger side of the engine. This fitting connects to an elbow and to the engine crankcase.

In setting these up, my thought was that a lot of the steel braied lines we see are massive overkill. These line see only a little more than atmospheric pressure, so using fittings and line that are rated above 100 psi is more than enough. A lot of the stuff that is used in convrsions is rated at thousands of psi, which is a pure waste. IMO.

Once again, I hope this helps.

So the supply and return hoses are a different size?
