Hello all,
For those of you who don't know me, I make the DWDesignWerks aluminum 914-6 oil tanks. I'm in search of an original 914-6 "oil return" hardline to copy, I'll pay for shipping both ways and send it back to you the next day... as well as send you a reproduction (mandrel bent, metric spec fittings) once they are done. I usually work about 14hrs a day, and I rarely get a chance to check these postings... so if you could please respond via email it would be much appreciated. Don@DWDesignWerks.com. Cheers, Don Welch DWDeisgnWerks |

Don,
I tried your email and was rejected. I think I have one on the shelf if you need. Let me know. Jule |

I'll call him and tell him to check this thread. Thanks Steve, just got it. Jeff, I received your email but not Jules... so i'm not sure whats going on. Jules, you responded first, so if its ready to ship, I would rather keep Jeff from going through the hassle of removing his. Again, thank you both for the timely response. |

No problem Don! I am pulling everything out anyway for a complete restoration so let me know if you still need it. I can pull it out tonight and since I am in California UPS Ground would have it to you by Wednesday!

Don, I bought one of your tanks (great item!) and am still collecting parts to start my conversion this spring. I WILL BUY ONE OF YOUR OIL LINE KITS...put me first in line if it will be available this spring!

Be aware (unless I did something wrong on my conversion) that the hardline will not fit if you use the RJ or Maddog bulkhead mount.

I think Don has an RJ mount on his car, he might have a trick up his sleeve?

Be aware (unless I did something wrong on my conversion) that the hardline will not fit if you use the RJ or Maddog bulkhead mount. That is completely true. I put a factory 914/6 hardline on my car, and it would not clear the Rich Johnson mount. I called Rich, and he looked at it. No Bueno. To use a factory hard line with an RJ mount would require hacking up the mount to the point of causing structural problems. There is a Porsche flex line from (I think) a 930 that replaces the factory hard line perfectly. |

You can go pick it up today. |
