I used I'll genuine Goodrich hoses and fittings for the pipes as the last thing I want is to melt the engine if a pipe fails .
I used hose direct at harworth near Doncaster for all pipes and fittings on the car . Cost a small fortune but it's worth it there Awsome quality !!!
Haven't seen that oil tank location before, nice work! One question though... Doesn't SBD direct that you have to run the line coming from the breather plate through a vented catch can before connecting to the oil tank?
ReplyDeleteThis is what I pulled out of their manual : "Remove the standard breather housing and fit the new
breather plate; this must be connected to the catch tank,
as it now pulls such a large vacuum that it could draw oil
from the tank. When fitted to the catch tank, make sure
the pipe can not be submerged in fluid within the catch
tank."
It's a little confusing because I can't tell if they are referring to the oil tank as the "catch tank" or not... but the last part saying "as it now pulls such a large vacuum that it could draw oil" makes me think that they are concerned about the breather pulling oil out of the top of the oil tank itself.
I have an identical setup and was planning on running a catch can with a breather on it... but I'm wondering if I didn't misread the instructions?
