and a view from the engine bay side of things. engine bay was primered and painted with rattle can guards red touchup paint.

you can see the 993 harness coming through the firewall as well as the two oil-line outlets (blocked off with red caps) on the thermostat box.

What type of oil lines are you using? Are those -16's or -12's fittings?

Eggs-cellent oil line routing. Fry the passenger, not the driver!

And much better than the awkward, toasty GT/916 oil-lines-as-dead-pedal setup. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/clap56.gif)

Curious on the blue rubber AN lines, though. Never seen em. Cheaper than braided? Easier to work with? Gee, I supposed factory oil lines are rubber and last a little while... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/idea.gif)

OD is 1", not sure about the ID ...

yes, blue rubber lines are cheaper and easier to work with. a bit more flexible too. and i happen to hate them braided lines, so ...

as for the routing, i'm planning on making a aluminum cover plate for the cabin to go over the hoses and i'll put some insulation behind the cover as well.
that should do the trick.

plus, i don't plan on being a passanger in my car too often ...

for those interested, here's a PDF with info on the oil-hose system used ...

http://www.914world.com/uploads/4281_b1.pdf (800k)

the blue hose is their "836 Hi-Temp, Heat-Resistant Hose"
operating range: up to 250 psi, 300 deg. F
burst pressure: 1000 psi

that should be plenty good ...

Glad to hear you're going to run a cover over the lines.....thoughts of hot oil spewing all over the inside of the car with you in it sounds too much like a Fry Daddy for me to be too comfortable w/o one.

Sort of like a Fry Andy instead!!!! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/chairfall.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/w00t.gif)

my guess is no more or less than the factory rubber oil-lines.

interestingly enough, none of the typical raceshop outlets mention anything about "fire resistant" with their braided stainless oil-lines either.

both use a similar elastomer as the main component, so i'm not sure a thin layer of stainless mesh on the outside would help much in case of direct contact with flames.
both, the braided lines and the plain lines have the same max. operating temperatur (~300F), i'm guessing both will simply melt the elastomer when exposed to much higher temperatures (flames) ...

also keep in mind that both types have another inner layer of braided mesh sandwiched between the inner rubber and the outer rubber ...
