72 oil lines, yes again
I know, I've searched and researched. I just don't have a lot of knowledge of plumbing on a 911 or metric for that matter.
I'm installing flares on the rear quarters, so now seems like as good time as any to redo the oil lines on a 72. Are there alternatives to stock oil lines in the quarter that run up to oil reservior? Well I did the stupid thing of running a screw into one of them on moch up. I know, probably dumbest thing so far on the 911. I was watching for inner panels and oil tank and missed the proximity of the lines. Can anyone either give me the ideas on how to convert to standard braided AN lines or guide to me who I should talk to in this. Yes, I checked HERE first, and didn't find much other than having Wayne order factory hoses. If you have particular vendors, just PM me to not cross advertise. I live in the middle of no where and would like to make the oil lines more readily available than from the west coast. Thanks for your time.

If you just shot a screw through the soft portion of one of your oil lines you can probably pull it off and bring it to any local hydraulic repair shop to have a new section of hose swaged in. It'll be much cheaper than replacement and arguably better quality.
If you trashed a hard line, you may be able to have the hole brazed and repaired that way. There are lots of options if you search here. Also, I have a used '72 crossover oil line (from the sump to the thermostat) for sale if you want/need it. Chris
