914-6 GT oil line specs, WTF (W hat's T he F inal) opinion on size of front cooler lines Options

[forrestkhaag]

I am wondering if anyone has a good spec on the ID/OD for the two brass lines running to and from the front oil cooler? See Pix from P-Base for reference / I will be using AN fittings at the working ends for my flexible connections to the cooler and the thermostat and oil tank etc.. And does anyone know generally what the oil pressure is (hot) going to the front oil cooler??

I could also makes kit-sets for other installations if anyone is interested / Once I know how the factory did the job and I can accurately replicate the same or similar quality and product.....


Thanks in advance for the input.

It's cool I get things ass-backwards all the time (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

Forresthaag AN-12 should be good to the tank and/or remote front cooler, both ways. You really need to use a thermostat for a front cooler.
AN-16 from the tank back into the engine.

If you were to use a front sump tank, say in a race app, you would use a minimum -16 return line, or even bigger as that's a long run.
Personally I'd never use a front sump in anything but a race car.
