After my
roadside adventure in the arizona desert I'm seeking a source
for the plastic oil line used to connect the dash gauge and oil cannister
on most 616/617 models.
I know the replacement part still exists -- from Fastlane --
but, I want to experiment with making my own line from the barbed
parts.
Any idea which material? which source?
I measure 5.9mm OD, which probably means its a 6mm nominal; and
1.4mm wall thickness. The minor diameter of the barbed part is 3.5mm, making it
a "press fit" within the 3.2mm ID; and the major diameter of the barb is 4.2mm.
Does Viton work for this application? It appears to have an appropriate temperature
service range, but pressure rating is "iffy". PTFE?
