Regards Henrik Hagen The fittings on the Mann housing are quite small. I would remove them and weld or braze AN fittings in their place. Then I would use Aeroquip 100R5 reusable fittings and black 1503 hose. There are probably affordable counterparts where you live. These are all standardized industrial applications. Go to a shop that sells hose and fittings for industrial machines and ask. You can make them any way you want and they will last forever.

Title: Re: Oil lines 356 oil filter Post by: Henrik Hagen on December 05, 2012, 17:34:48 pm Ok
I will try that... I was told that the inlet hole should be restricted to 1,5 mm to limit the oil draw. Any opinions about that?

On a 1600 with more reserve in the pump, a large hole is no problem. I think the 356 engine has a 2,5 mm hole. I will check and get back to you.
WRT hoses, you can either send the measures to me, and i will make them for you, or contact "Slangespecialisten" in Stevns. - He is somewhat closer to you.

I assumed that you would use the filter inline as a full-flow part so my suggestion may be excessive.

I have found an industrial 1600 type 1 engine build on AS21 engine block with low hours. I dont want to disassemble it but give it an old school look and give it an oil filter without drilling the engine block.

Bypass :) Title: Re: Oil lines 356 oil filter Post by: hotrodsurplus on December 06, 2012, 01:03:00 am That changes things. If the existing fittings have an NPT thread then you could just adapt them to AN/JIC fittings. JIC is dimensionally identical to AN but is made to slightly looser tolerances and costs a lot less. The AN-style fittings used in industrial applications is JIC. It works fine for our purposes.
As a bypass I bet that you would be fine with -6 hose (6/16, aka 3/8-inch diameter). If you kept the lines short you could probably use -4 (4/16 or 1/4). What diameter did Porsche specify? I bet it would look very good if you used an industrial hose with a black jacket. |
