Oil Filler Tube Details

A couple of years ago I contacted Alex at ISP West and asked him if he had any Type 34 specific oil tubes available for sale. At the time, he wasn't aware of the differences and couldn't help me out. So, I mounted up my then empty engine case to the transmission with a spare oil tube securely mounted to the case with an old gasket. I mounted up the top tube into the body, then sighted down the inside and outsides of the tube to determine how it needed to be bent to fit. About 4 to 5 inches off towards the 5 'o clock position as viewed from the back of the car, if memory serves. I took the engine case out of the car and then inserted a big breaker bar into the mounted tube, then crouched on top of the case and gently pulled the top of the breaker bar towards the 11 'o clock position about 6 inches, then released pressure. I had some additional tweaking I did just to get perfection, but the gentle bending didn't break the tube or the welds. I then tested the tube with oil to make sure I didn't create a crack. I even heated it up really make sure. Then, I repeated the whole process on another powder coated tube, so I have a spare. I also checked to see that the gap between the top tube and bottom tube is appropriate for the rubber boot. Problem solved.

This is ALL t34s. 3/8 away from the lip of the Shroud

This is ALL type 3s 1 1/4 away from the lip of the Shroud

You can easily see how much difference bend to the Right Side

Is NOT that much degree up and down
Is MORE left and right BEND

Long story Short
You can tell before installing the engine
On what model are you working ON
Thank You
😁

Perhaps the "K" stamp is for Karmann?
