I have been putting parts together for this for a long time. I started with oil lines (hard gt lines) , oil tank side oil lines, now onto cooler and lines up to it.. Next will be t stat area.

I want to share what progress along the way as folks ask me often if I have a kit and well "working on it"

Here is a really nice oil cooler I plan to use in the kit. Notice the angle of the inlets and how they are divided..

911’s use 3 clamps but the oil lines are longer. I think 2 clamps would be best since one might allow the lines to pivot at the clamp. It’s easier to hold a long metal pipe steady with two hands instead of one. But I’m just guessing.

Glad to see this is moving forward.

Do the door sill supports need to come out for this, or just opened up a bit?

They really need to come out. Was hoping to leave them in and modify but wouldn't work.

Regarding clamps the other spot its held is where it enters the cockpit. There is no real movement. And factory was brass these are stainless so it doesn't need as much support.

Perhaps some type of support could be fabricated to hold the oil lines and also support the door sill?

Here is the inlet I bought from Ben. Fitted, welded in, coated with rocker panel texture and painted body color. FYI, this is a bit of a tight fit in a former FAT bumper car...

Well, I really need them now! Local place was lost when they saw the hard lines..."metric crap" this, "PORSCHE crap" that...Pirtek wants me the put weld on ends on the lines to convert to AN. I get tired of hearing the anti PORSCHE stuff, when they have won a F*** ton of races...I guess those lines have a 37 degree flare, and its 30 mm male with 1.5 mm thread pitch? Is that correct?
