Hello all,

For those of you who don't know me, I make the DWDesignWerks aluminum 914-6 oil tanks. I'm in search of an original 914-6 "oil return" hardline to copy, I'll pay for shipping both ways and send it back to you the next day... as well as send you a reproduction (mandrel bent, metric spec fittings) once they are done. I usually work about 14hrs a day, and I rarely get a chance to check these postings... so if you could please respond via email it would be much appreciated. Don@DWDesignWerks.com.

Cheers,
Don Welch

Don,
I tried your email and was rejected.
I think I have one on the shelf if you need.
Let me know.

Thanks Steve, just got it.

Jeff, I received your email but not Jules... so i'm not sure whats going on. Jules, you responded first, so if its ready to ship, I would rather keep Jeff from going through the hassle of removing his.


Again, thank you both for the timely response.

No problem Don! I am pulling everything out anyway for a complete restoration so let me know if you still need it. I can pull it out tonight and since I am in California UPS Ground would have it to you by Wednesday!

Don, I bought one of your tanks (great item!) and am still collecting parts to start my conversion this spring. I WILL BUY ONE OF YOUR OIL LINE KITS...put me first in line if it will be available this spring!

Be aware (unless I did something wrong on my conversion) that the hardline will not fit if you use the RJ or Maddog bulkhead mount.

I think Don has an RJ mount on his car, he might have a trick up his sleeve?

That is completely true. I put a factory 914/6 hardline on my car, and it would not clear the Rich Johnson mount. I called Rich, and he looked at it. No Bueno. To use a factory hard line with an RJ mount would require hacking up the mount to the point of causing structural problems.


There is a Porsche flex line from (I think) a 930 that replaces the factory hard line perfectly.

Call Zims. They should have them in stock. You can go pick it up today.

GPR makes the flex line substitute for the 914-6. (800)321-5432, talk to Derek.

As stated above, the line will not work with the RJ mount!
