I just received the PMS Oil cooler modification tube for altering my 911 cooler to adapt to the 914-6 undercarriage.
No installation information was provided with the part from Patrick so my question to the sage advisors out there is: What length tube should the addition of the PMS tube result in? Then, I assume that a 90 degree AN fitting would be used to make the turn, correct? Any advice would be greatly appreciated prior to me making a modification to my cooler that results in a no-cooler at all condition....

The original tube support on your cooler gets cut off and the conversion piece added in so the threaded end clears the end of the cooler,that gives you room to tighten the fitting. Good luck and make sure you pick the right guy to do the welding. |
