cut some holes (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/wink.gif)

I'm going to go get a 4-4.5 inch hole saw for the filter, too easy.

Also cut off the blower motor pedestal- gone.

I'll naval jelly all the rusty areas, then use a rust coverting paint/primer.

It looks worse than it is. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/cool_shades.gif)

I also test fitted the oil tank..WTF that thing doesn't just slide in? It took some doing to get the oil tank into position.

Looks good keep the photos coming.

top view.
Looks bad, I know. Not one bit of rust on the lower longs, motor mount ears or suspension console.

Quite a pile of dirt fell out when I popped the rocker off.

I'll do battle some more tonight. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/welder.gif)

Your 4" hole is rounder then mine (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/wacko.gif) That just doesn't sound right. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/wub.gif) (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/wub.gif)

Have you decided on what to use for a hole edge liner?


I am sure you know, but make sure you drilled the hole in the shelf for the lowest oil hose to pass into the engine bay. There should be a flat spot already there.

hole edge liner

Two possibilities.
plastic u-channel or braided German vacuum line that I will carefully razor cut to make it into a u-channel.

I finished the rust repair. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/cool_shades.gif)

I found a nice tube to use as oil tank hole liner.
It's soft vinyl drip irrigation tubing. Found it in white.
Cut it into u-channel, nice fit.

Tomorrow I will paint the engine bay, install the oil tank, maybe the SIX, too. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/cool.gif)

The area under my car is crazy messy right now.
It looks like my tool shed blew up. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/w00t.gif)

If you have an extra hood the black trim on the edge can be used for the oil tank holes.

Trekkor, do you have the right engine oil cooler for your 6 ? The one in the jpeg seems to have a straight fitting on the end...you need a hard 90, which will clear the undercarriage. I'm just checking... (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/lol2.gif)

Can't I just use a 90 fitting off the cooler?

Will there be a clearance issue?

Marty's right What are you going to do ?

You have an early oil cooler, 72 and later has a bigger inlet tube on the cooler. and to make it work you can saw it flush with end of the cooler, pipe thread it ,and screw in an 3/4pipe to -12 AN ,90 elbow . use some epoxy too. Or weld it. Thats the simple way. But you need the later oil cooler.

Dan Root, uses your cooler saws it off and slides the hose over and clamps it.
Works ,but there is better ways .

Someone makes a machined piece that is welded to the end of the cooler.

Find a six cooler. But You have a Vellios tank that uses AN fittings,so thats a problem.
Have someone weld a AN -12 90 to your cooler.
I am sure there is other ways also. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/wacko.gif)

Do you know what chain tensioners are in the motor ?
you may want to look and make sure they have gaurds on at the least.
Its easy now with the motor out. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/idea.gif)
Hope this helps Jeff
