Hey guys,
Well, its a couple pics of what I'm making up to see if there is any interest...
22mm OD, 1mm wall (OEM Cohline tubing) and fittings bent with my mandrel bender. $300 each, flex lines will need to be purchased through me or your favorite flex line supplier (I will provide the correct dimensions for your application... OEM tank or aftermarket). The flex lines are $65-OEM tank and $55 DWDesignWerks tank (or any aftermarket tank that uses the M22 female threaded union fitting)
I have measured and made this with an original 914-6 with heat exchangers.
These ship out of San Luis Obispo California, I'm going to wrap these to hopefully get better shipping costs (30"x12"x4"). Bigd9146gt@yahoo.com

Where were you 5 months ago? I would have much rather puchased this than the Patrick alternative. The cost was about the same too. Good Luck.

Don -
Is your DWDesignwerks still up and running? Are you still making the boxster conversion kits for 911's and 914's? How 'bout your oil tanks?
Best tank on the market IMHO!

Thanks for the kind words Eric and Steve!
BKLA, I'm in an awkward position at the moment. I have only a few tools available at this time. I cannot produce 90% of my old product line as it was me doing almost all the manufacturing/finish work to keep the costs reasonable.
I have one set of front adapters available, 10 or so oil filter stands, no filler necks, no tanks, and no intermediate plates. The machine shop I used to work at is no longer a viable option, and I don't have the financial backing to sublet everything.
I've always wanted to provide hard oil lines for the -6's. The flex lines are a pain to keep suspended and deteriorate quickly from the heat between the exhaust and cylinders.

Might be interested in the line. I have one of your tanks. No painting needed as I can have it plated.

I might be interested. I have an OEM tank and flexible lines that came from Rich Johnson many years ago. They are still in their shrink wrapping and have been properly stored for over 5 years. My question is if I picked up this hard line from you would it mate right up to the flexible lines I have? Here is a pic of what I have.

The long flex line you have is replaced with the hard line with a new shorter line. If you send me that long flex line, I might be able to trade in the fittings and tube for the short section you will need. Let me know if your interested, I will check with my Cohline supplier.
Cheers, Don

I was just informed of this line, is it still available? I found a couple of NOS ones, but at a MUCH higher cost. Thanks.

I missed this one too, VERY cool looking hard-line, I'm interested if you're still doing these lines too.

Hey guys,
I may have a chance in 3 months to make some more of these... please don't hold me to that though. It all depends on how soon I get my tools to make them.

Does that mean I might get the one promised to me back when I shipped the factory original for to be used for the first ones that were made?

Hey Jeff,
I would like nothing more than to send you a line for your help. I will do my best to find you when I do get a chance to make these again... When I post they are completed, please don't be a stranger to remind me... It will save any odd comments you feel obligated to post communally.
Cheers, Don
