WTB:Hard Oil Lines and Thermostat

[DJ911]

Looking for second hand hard oil lines and thermostat for front oil cooler install. Please shoot me a PM if you have bits lying around or a possible lead.

Cheers

Hi Dirk

Not sure if you are still looking for a cooler but these guys might be worth a look. At least they are an Aus company. The only thing I would clarify is max pressure as 911 engines can see over 80psi.

Any suggestions on where I might be able to source these parts?

Hi Dirk

I would just shot them an email. They are based between Brisbane and the Gold Coast and I suspect they supply race teams, trade outlets etc directly but I'm not sure who retails their stuff. I'd be surprised if they didn't sell direct as the website mentions custom jobs.

Jeff,

Sorry... vague post... to clarify any idea where I can source second hand hard oil lines / thermostat?

Cheers

First time I had seen the tail since you bought it yes you were lucky Clydes' garage roof to the resuce again!!

I trust it came up trumps in the end

That roof space must be a bit like the Tardis

Still looking for hard oil lines / thermostat if anybody has a lead...

TIA

Gents,

Do these hard oil lines look usable to you?

How about the damage to the thread on the thermostat?

Thanks,

[Fishcop]

The threads on the thermostat look a little galled... definitley need to chase the threads before connecting it all up. The lines have the 'standard' dings; there are a few methods to fix them - basically heat and compressed air.

Do they have the connecting pieces from long lines to front serpentine cooler

Looks like a 73 set given thermostat hanging off the back end and the serpentine front cooler

[DJ911]

I am led to believe the setup is from a 76 911S. Not sure about the connecting pieces (both if they are present and what they look like). I would be looking at installing a carrera cooler, would the same connecting pieces still be required?

Buy a metric thread file which will allow you to fix these threads easily. You will be surprised how useful this tool is. Here is a link to buy one, surprisingly cheap !
