Tony, my lines were weeping so I took the whole assembly to a hydraulics
service company. They were able to duplicate everything for about 100.00.
Since then, I have found another company that does a lot of tubes and hoses
for show cars. The web site is www.tnhlakeland.com and their work is
excellent and he really likes old cars. If you go with them the owner is
Elliot and it would be best to send him some original hose and fittings. He
can even duplicate the horseshoe tube at the filter housing. Robin Young

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.
