Well, seems while in process of copy-cad plating some parts this one got "misplaced" in my maintenance shop. Don't know if more than one style but it's on the infeed side on an '86. Would anyone happen to have a spare from a part out they would like to sell?

let me get a photo. It's the smaller of two with braded lines that ends in a banjo fitting. The big one is to drain the tubo back into the crank. Got that one. It's the smaller one with a banjo on one end and a flat fitting with o-ring in the other . Some people have extra parts when done, I come up short.

For what it's worth, if you are installing a new Turbo, you might want to spring for a new feed line... I went for the LR turbo oil feed with filter...

Well, didn't think about that. It's totally rebuilt using my original hot side (wanted all those lines and mounts to zip right up you know). The compressor side is a To4e with custom #44 trim so has a 3" inlet and will match right up to my new Vitesse. But it won't be too cool without oil. Think I'll check the Lindsey site. Didn't know an entire line, thougth that was just an inline filter....

I like it and sure not a bad bit of insurance. If no one shows up on here with a "value priced"* replacement I'll get that headed this way.

* value priced: commercial contractor way of telling subs to cut your price dude.

My local rebuild shop, on off the shelf parts, was within $5 on a comparable setup to LR... I had already ordered the LR setup, so I didn't buy his...

You can piece one together from Summit, jegs or the like, but I think you will find LR price isn't really that bad, considering it is all in one box... and has their support behind it...

yep, and like the filter deal. If stock one doesn't show up today I'll just go online and order one.
