Next was to improve the Oil return routing.
The car is fitted with a larger, 930 Oil Tank. It doesn't have a front Oil cooler so the larger capacity tank is not a bad thing to have.....Other than trying to work out the correct Oil capacity. In the original build I had to modify the engine bay hole for the filler neck and filter.....In hindsight I should have fitted the earlier tank, the big problem is the thread sizes for hoses and fittings. The later tank uses M30, the earlier tank is M26...In addition the engine crankcase is also M26. Elephant Racing supply M30 - M26 adapters and elbows so fitting is fairly straightforward, the only problem I have had ( or unresolved solution ) is that the return line is a flexible hose that goes up and over the gearbox.
After abit of searching I had the plan to fit a later rigid (under the gearbox) pipe with the M30 fittings
It need bit teasing and persuading to adjust the bends to clear the gearbox, but it was fairly close...The only problem was that it fouled slightly on the crankcase.
A few choice cuts, pipe extending and brazing later it fits and looks a lot cleaner. Just about clears the wrapped manifolds.
The M30 elbow allows to fit a small section of the original hose and connect to the tank
Solving problems that shouldn't really exist.....but that's part of the fun (to me at least)
Onwards!
