Hello Guys
I was wondering if anyone here modifies
911 oil coolers to work on a 914?

Try Patrick Racing in Phoenix, AZ. I believe there are other out there as well as it's just welding a 90 degree angle on a shortened oil cooler pipe. I got mine from Otto's (RIP John) in Venice, CA back in the day

If i'm not mistaken, the stock 914/6 cooler has a 90 degree radius bend and not a 90 degree angle.

A real one.
BTW, it's on the supply side, so there's no pressure there: suction, if anything. A quick-and-dirty solution
could be to simply saw off the pipe and fit a flexible with a hose clamp. Does the existing pipe offer any support to the cooler? (I'm
not recommending: just sayin').

Clewett did the modification on mine:
http://www.clewett.comHas options on AN- thread size, metric, etc as I recall.

Rich Johnson did the one on my car, he pressure tested it and welded on an AN 16 male outlet.
Perfect.

Can be done this way too ;
Click to view attachmentI used a sweep bend on the hose to join them up.
Local alloy boatbuilder did the welding for $40.
Chuck @ Elephant Racing will most likely have a weld on fitting,great go to guy for hoses and fitting too.

Becuase its suction side a sharp 90 works just as PMS does. There are so many ways to do this and really not right answer. What I do is 45 it and weld them pretty easy and clean.

I welded my own
I used a $8 fueling hose 1" NPT elbow from a farm supply shop. Cut it on a lathe to slip into the cooler tube then TIG welded it on.
Made the hose from a bunch of 911 suction hoses I had kicking around, I have about $30-$40 into my whole return system.
