Yes, 'does it come with the kit?' is what I meant

I dont have the original pipe and that pipe in the picture is broken off right at the 36mm (or so big) nut that bolts on to the crankcase - the other end which is in the picture just connects to the braided line to the oil tank.

Thanks for the help

Miles, want me to take a pic of the pipe I have as a spare ?

I could sell it to you if you want. I'm sure Stephen will tell me how much it cost me if I ask nicely

This is the oil line that I made out of factory parts.

Order a new '74 oil line and then cut off your old line and tig them together.. Fits like a glove!!

That is sweet.

Kevin, does the curve/smile/half moon go under or over the transmission ?

Kevin

under the tranny

I think this is a B&B part. I cannot find this part on the Porsche parts fische. I located the union at the crankcase (PP# 999.136.008.00) but on the stock sytem I think that an oil line attaches directly to the union (no elbow). The stock system runs the oil lines differently than the B&B system and therefore the need for the elbow.

The elbow is threaded on to the oil line and then into the crankcase. I have photos that are too big for Rennlist (cheap *** Rennlist - you pay for membership and then are limited in the size of photos you can upload - OTOH at Pelican you can upload anything you want as much as you want and it is free! ). See this link to a thread I started at Pelican SO THAT I COULD UPOLOAD THE DAMN PHOTOS! The photos show this in detail.

The B&B system graphic shows an elbow at the end of the oil line but I think this graphic is of a 930 system. The elbow is definately a seperate part from the oil line on my car (again see the photo). This means you should be able to order it directly from B&B as a replacement part.

I would not hang an oil line under the tranny. If something snags it and cuts the line (or worse) you're F***ed!

Kevin

What are you talking about.. You are going to wipe out the center drain section of your engine case (lowest part of the engine) vs snagging the oil line.. When using the '74 style line it actually tucks up against the bell-housing which is higher than the bottom of the engine case..

Flachbau

There is a difference between snagging or catching an oil line on some back road flotsom or free-falling freeway rubble and scraping your engine case on landing from an airborne excursion. But if you feel comfortable with it that's all that matters

I just think that others should consider all possibilities before implementing your solution.

Thanks alot Flachbau!
You have answered my question and it IS part of the kit...

Thanks kevin for the info as well. Ill see if Billy will sell me his pipe alone, if not ill have to make one up.

Here are the pics of the one I have that I can sell you.

Here are pics of where they go. Connect the crankcase to the oil thermostat housing.

Stephen has told me they won't sell it to you.

What do you think is a fair price for this hose ? There isn't a price as it cannot be bought

Seems the factory parts to do this cost £125.00 + delivery and that is not from a OPC where it would be higher still, thats nearly $200 USD.

Make me an offer Miles.
