I'm pretty sure this part is nla. There are some oil tank seals that are pricey. Will 914rubber come to the rescue please.Thanks

I'm pretty sure it's the rubber grommet that fits on the 914-6 only hook that hangs down from the left side long to hold the oil line.

Stoddards has it for $6.29, but it looks different from yours.

I'm sure I have a very manky looking one like this on an old oil pipe. Nothing like Stoddards, looks too thick to me

That's the through body seal, not for the hook although I don't see the seal for the hook in the PET. it might be the same.

The one pictured next to the white box looks right except for the size of the hole...the hole should extend to the inside shoulder.
Dimensions would help.

i'm pretty sure that's a grommet for one of the oil tank tubes, probably the small one at the top for the breather hose

The holes through the inner fender don't have grommets, they have foam collars in between the tank and the inner fender.

Mark needs to make them as well. I think the one for the oil console is crazy expensive.

SO, is it the same as the hole fro the starter wires? Or are there 2 different parts?
Becomes really easy and inexpensive when everyone needs these. Yes, I'd do this for the 6 guys, but if we all need it.....well you get my point.

999 702 132 50 is a starter cable grommet for 3.2 Carrera 84-86
999 702 088 50 is the grommet for the oil line on 914-6 where it goes through the engine compartment sheet metal
999 702 089 50 is the grommet for the oil line support "hook"
Porsche superceeds the 999 702 088 50 to 999 702 132 50 but its not really correct the original has a much larger center hole to accommodate the oil line OD.
I suspect it can be made to work but you should copy the correct original style part if you're going through the trouble.
999 702 089 50 is NLA last time I checked, then again check your dealer they are re-issuing parts all the time.
Mikey914
Apr 10 2017, 09:44 AM
Thanks I get the idea now. As with superseded parts one can be made to fit the other. As the later one exists I will make the "correct" early one as soon as I can get a sample. So on the oil line and the hole it passes through if someone can PM me the dimensions I will add to my notes to make sure this fits properly.
Thanks,
mark

My tank holes I used a template but have a DWD tank and the holes don't line up exactly. If you were to reproduce them it would be nice if the OD lip was oversize so that there's a bit of wiggle room to offset the seal.
Mikey914
Apr 10 2017, 10:16 AM
I'll look at that. may be worthwhile unless it creates clearance issues with cross referenced parts.

Or if the ID was tight the customer could trim the offset in the center hole of the seal.

The original part looks like it is a stretch fit. So it should do just that. If I can get an actual measurement off the hose line I can confirm, but I's suspect it's set up that way already.

correct! none of them.. The two parts in question will not interchange the oil line rubber is much bigger ID and smaller OD yet thicker then the firewall piece..I need that oil hose piece mike, the home made version is just not as clean

the wire grommet on the firewall pops in easy and wires push right through,,the other should be snug on the hook, but not tight on the hose ,the hook just cradles the hose and the hose moves inside the grommit

Here's an item to add to the list. Oil filter console seal. $42 list price. I pay less than list but it's still pricey. I could use a couple more. The O ring was $4 and the seal for the oil cap is $8.

May 9 2018, 12:08 AM
Well couldn't even find them @ the time ,with my tank for a test fit there is a need for seals no question,the tank isn't supposed to be close to the body anyway.
For lack of a solution I made tank seals from closed cell foam worked fine and checked on at not so happy ''reasons for removal" (4 times)....hopefully not out of the car again ??????
As fairly simple parts they need to be made again.....Mark ??

All correct parts AFAIK
Wide NORMA 54mm filler neck clamp
Collared filler tube sleeve/seal. Not a plain hose
Foam filler neck seal
Foam breather nipple seal
Rubber oil filter console seal with keeper ring
Missing is a flat rubber washer that goes between body of the car and the threaded
nipple at the bottom of the tank......at the right of the pic.
Also missing is the rubber hook grommit that Bob shows, it would slip over a stock

Alternatively, can someone provide the ID, OD, and width?

Thank you for taking time to share those.
I poked around Wurth, but didn't find anything close.
I did find a couple on McMaster that might be serviceable:
I'd be interested to know if anyone has found anything closer.

I for one would like to see this as a "Oil tank install kit" available from one of our trusted vendors. As more and more of us enter the /6 conversion world, it sure would make things easier. Include an oil line kit also
