Don't know what the originals looked like, but you might just be able to go to
one of the hydraulic hose place (Hose Man) or something like that and have
them make it up for your if the fittings are available. OR you your try to do
something yourself with standard -AN fitting in braided or newer kevlar hoses
that are pretty easy to make up yourself. You could also make something like I
did that uses a compact filter from Canton Mecca which can use easy to get AN
fittings and you can change the filter from the top.

Subject: Re: [Tigers] original
oil lines reprodced
The oil lines on my Mk1 are to long to be able to use the
oil filter holder that bolts to the head. Im guessing a PO had them made and
they either copied other unoriginal hoses or where only interested in them not
leaking. Since the clamp was also missing its just a guess. My question is if
I wanted to have my problem corrected and since I dont have the correct hoses,
does anyone have knowledge of where I can send mine and receive the corrct
length hoses? I planned on doing away with them using the motorport 90 degree
adaptor but my headers wont allow the short filter to the best of my
knowledge. Im not a stickler for having to run the original hoses as they can
be a real pain if one burst while on a trip and they always seem to lek, even
if its an occasional drip.
Thanks in advance for informtion or other ideas.
