Can anyone post a photo of the oil line arrangement on a Pre A 2 piece
crankcase. Include both inlet and exit line with the fittings. Trying
to put together parts for one.

Thanks
Frank

Hi Frank,

Yeah, those lines are expensive and not correct - wrong crimp on the end, wrong braiding, and not the steel ends are too short.

The lines Porsche used during the pre-A period were braided steel lines with no tracers woven in. Probably Cohline. Here's a photo of a mid-to-late 1953 Type 528 engine with factory-installed oil filter canister (Mann I believe).



Notice how long the tubes on the ends are (including the banjo fitting down at the oil pressure switch.

I have more photos if you need. Shoot me a PM.
