Martin,

Is your dog ear reinforcing strut fixed in place or removable?

Martin,

Is your dog ear reinforcing strut fixed in place or removable?



Its welded in. I have it both my race cars. Roger Hamlin of Hamlin Fabrication recommended the brace, to prevent "toe out" during braking. He told me the car twist around back there it will actually change the suspension geometry enough to cause un- commanded direction changes!

He has a shop at Sears Point, and is a good guy to know. Roger was a fabricator on the 1979 Red Roof Inn 935 Team. When he recommended it, little hard to say no. He's been involved with many makes/models and is a wealth of knowledge. One of those guys who doesn't need to advertise.

It has a doubler on the forward inner longitudinal, where its welded and dove tailed/welded to the dog ear. Very simple.

More parts arrived today. I was able to fit one of the two lines. I'm dropping the car tomorrow at Mike Tolle's shop to have the hardline finished....really looking forward to hear this thing run again. Also for what it's worth the black and green hose comes from Parker's Transportation catalog. 22 mm or 7/8 inside diameter.

Here is the hose for those who may be interested...213-16 is the correct P/N for this application. Its actually an air brake line, but has multiple uses..

Thanks Ben.

This is from the Parker Catalog as well. Same dimensions, no internal steel mesh. Weighs a little less. Every ounce counts right!

P/N 293-16

And the 22MM Steel Braided from NEWCO.

Picked up the car from Mike last night, here are the final two lines, just have to get them crimped. Finding someone who will crimp these lines is nearly impossible. No one in the city of Sacramento that I've been able to find will do it. The reason being it's a Parker hose and a Cohline fitting. I'm sure liability is the issue. One guy at the Parker dealership explained to me how these two should not even be put together because no specifications exist to get a correct crimp. Hope he's wrong...

Here is a shot of the whole mess hanging with lines temporarily connected...so now I will box them up and send them back to Elephant to be crimped. About a week process. While they're out I'm going to flush the oil tank just to make sure there's no junk in it and new filter and oil is waiting...

Thanks, I appreciate that. This is no concour car. I don't want it to be, but when I dive it down into turn 11 at Sears Point I just want it to be safe and reliable...

Building the mock up of the front cooler duct. I can see these being a little different from car to car based on how high you install Ben's inlet duct. It places the cooler slightly higher than the factory. Mainly because the cooler is much larger than the factory 906 cooler.

Once the car is running again I'm going to take it back to Mike and he will build the shroud. I'm going to use clip on Nut plates to attach to the car, for access to the cooler.
Also have to weld up the holes in the front trunk where the old oil line passed through...

Updating this a bit. I have been working on the car a bit again.. I have been working on solutions that will work with the PMS ot Naroscape mounts as neither of those mounts work with a stock style scavenge line. I decided to use a AN hose but something that looks retro. I may still have these made out of Cohline but for now this is where I am at.

Notice the fire sleeve was spit balling. I am going to use adel clamps so the hose will be in a safe location. Attached Image

There is some good info here: https://www.elephantracing.com/porsche/911/...il-lines-hoses/

Even though it's for for 911's the basic principles are there.

On at least two cars I've converted to a 6, I used all flex line and routed the scavenge line toward the rear, then curved it forward to the T-stat/cooler/tank
