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 hose that feeds under the cooler is under suction from the oil pump. Be carful of your hose bends to avoid hose collapsing.
The Patrick feed hose does just this, I am in the process of having a hose made now that has a hard bend to avoid this. This is also the hose you want to leave a coupling in the middle to be able to drain your tank on oil changes. |
