Hi all,

As i'm almost finished with the header (check for pics in my topic) i'm looking at relocation my AOS. There are the Moroso AOS units that connect to a AN12 connector so it big enough and with a T-section on the suction part you can also get a second one in the head.

Just have to make a kind of adaptorplate with 2 plugs into the block with some thread on the other end where i can screw a hose on.

Has this been done before? If so, has anyone got any pictures of this?

Ofcourse i mean the entire relocation of the AOS, not just the relocation of the oil filler pipe!


Thanks!

I just finished doing something like this. I'll try to get a pic posted up in awhile. I took an aluminum fitting and machined it down to fit into the holes and also machined in an orinf groove. Then welded a tab to hold them in place. I forget what AN size it is. Probably s -12 iirc.

Precisely Scott! This gives me a good idea on what to fabricate! Thanks a lot! Although i'm curious about what other people have used as a replacement for their AOS!

Check out this photo from Snapbucket: http://pbckt.com/pz.JHPB9i

Just checking to see if this link works. Otherwise I'll have to log in via laptop.

Edit; looks like it does. Please forgive my welds. I was just using scrap and it didn't like it.. Lol

That is exactly what i meant!

I'll probably make one from stainless.. But the welds will not look much better.. ;-)

How dit you fabricate it? Did you get a thick walled pipe and did you machine all of it or did you get a threaded bus and did you use a lathe to get the outer wall off and make the groove in it to get the rubber ring in it?

Do you have any measurements?

It's a pipe connector I got from Dave Novak. I started with a stainless piece but for the bottom hole the aluminum one worked better as it is thicker and just needed to be turned down a little to fit into the hole. I then turned in a groove for the o ring.

I am going to use a stainless piece for the upper hole unless Dave gets me a smaller aluminum part to start with. The problem with stainless is that it is thinner wall, so turning a groove is a bit tough without going all the way through.

I have asked him what these pieces are and I'm awaiting a response. I would imagine that they are just a high end pipe coupler.

I didn't write down the measurements as I was just figuring as I went.

Sid, would you reproduce those?

blown944, i want to see a larger version of that middle pic in your sig. have one to post?

blown 944

Spencer, yeah I could pretty easily. I'll post something in my thread once I get the whole system set up.


I'd have to look at photobucket. You may be able to browse through my photo bucket and find it, along with a lot of others. User name is "mojospops"
