Good morning everyone. I am trying to gauge interest in GT lines. I had 2 previous runs made and now looking at a 3rd run. Likely would do these in mild steel and yellow zinc plate them this go around as Stainless was over kill and 25% more than last time with no benefit really as the ends were steel anyway.

Thoughts?

I'm in; been hounding you for the past year for a set; hopefully more will chime in so I can actually get a set for my factory 6. Thank you again for doing these!

Todd

I have a set of GT hard lines in my car and love them. If you are doing or planning on doing a 6 conversion, this is the way to go IMHO. Of course, Ben's stuff is top drawer.

I’m in for a set. Thanks

For reference here is what they looked like last time. As I said they were stainless but this go around mild steel. Even thinking of using a 26mm fitting instead of a 30. The 30mm hose doesn’t go into the front trunk easily.Click to view attachment

Beautiful

These give additional cooling over rubber lines correct? Any idea how much they help?

I am almost too afraid to ask, but have you priced brass like the originals? Or is it a matter of sourcing the correct size tubing? I will be needing a set for my car to go with PMB’s new oil cooler replica.

Brass is waaay to expensive. The stainless version were $650 a set a great deal at that. I would expect these depending on interest to be less then that and come zinc plated

Add me. I’m in!

Interested..

I'm interested!

Maybe a little bit but they don’t really get airflow. I would use a good cooler. I already have a set for my next build. No regrets. Ben’s parts are always worth the money.

Ben. Can never say no to your work. Timing?

Hello Ben,

Interested as this will likely be my plan B.

Thanks,

Ken

interested as well.

john

Would be about 6 weeks once I give the green light for the bender. It’s a substantial investment so want to make sure there is enough interest

I'd be interested too.

So 11 interested plus 2 others outside of the forum?

Looks like it, that’s a decent amount of takers

If you figure out a price point and would like a deposit please let us know.

Thanks again for making another round of hard lines, not to sound snobby but I really really didn’t want to use rubber lines on my 6.

Todd

Im in

Ben count me in for a set.
Thanks Todd

Sounds great. I am on short getaway with my wife early next week. Final decision will be late next week and then I will request a $100 deposit for all interested parties and of course final pricing. I don’t have a way to quote zinc plating without a finished part in hand so will just do final price without plating and then deal with plating for those interested once I have them in hand.

Any thoughts on 30, 26mm or AN fittings on these? Last time was 30 and that has its own issues as previously mentioned even though that is what the factory GT lines had.

Add me in for a set of lines. I like the idea of keeping the original 30mm fittings.

I'm interested as well....

Ok looks like we are getting to the magic number.

Ben,
Please put me down for a set too, and let me know when to send the deposit.
I guess I would vote for the 26mm or whatever will make this easier to run. I needed to bite the bullet and reroute my oil lines anyway…
Thanks!
Danny

I'm in for a set, maybe 2 depending on price point.

I can't see the 26mm return line being an issue, basically it's a 1" or AN-16 size equivalent.

To be clear the 26mm fitting option would be the same size as the engine case fitting on a stock -6. The issue is I need to see if there are adapters out there like there are for the 30mm fittings.

Please put me in for one.

Matt

Mark - You're back

I think I would like a set as well.

Pete

Are these happening?

They will. I currently working on 2 different 914 projects out of state for customers. Should be done by this Friday and get rolling on this.

Thanks a bunch. I am hoping to get them in time to install ahead of engine getting done by end of February (fingers crossed). Will need to know end fittings you landed on so i can source the right fittings.foe.the soft lines.

Ok we have semi finalized costs and pricing on this run will be $695. I will be pm’ing those that showed interest and how to put deposits down etc.

Ben,
PM and Deposit is sent: my preference 914-6 GT hardlines, 26mm fittings, plated option
(if 26mm fittings becomes an issue, I will switch to 30mm)
Thanks!!

Deposit sent

Yes I'd also like a set.
Ben please let me know how to get the deposit to you.
Thanks.

@Long_Ago HB- great call. You will love the GT lines on your car.

PM sent

Well to say that deposit system went seamless couldn't be further from the truth. Some people sent money with no information. Then some sent PM's that I can't tie to the payments.

I sent everyone my email address could you please send me an email with your information so I can tie it to the payments.

PS we are only talking about half to people that were interested came forward with a deposit. Please email me with your intent so I can have the proper amount of parts machined and bent.
