oil lines..... Do you know of a source for making the hard lines? They do look pretty neat on the orig. Kremer ST.

Hi Gib, just got back from seeing someone doing exactly that..... will e-mail details and pictures!

Have decided to relocate the filter element after all, and added a section to the original fuse panel to mount the second CD. Mike Moore was my inspiration for this mod, as well as the mounting arrangement for the twin coils on the rear cross brace. Mike is a very good source for details on these early competition cars, and his mechanic/shop owner (and friend) Neil Bainbridge is another who also fabricates many hard to find items.

This site is pretty amazing in bringing together international collaboration on these early 911s. Thanks to the guys who keep this board going...it is the best.

Attached are some images of the cross over lines in the restored Kremer 1972 European Championship ST (photography courtesy of a fellow board member).

Couple more of the hard lines installed on the green Kremer car:

The attached image is of a factory prepared 1972 ST.

Note that the inner fender well has two round holes to accomodate the passage of the lines.

I think this was the way the factory Race Department did its cars, as opposed to the way Kremer may have done his car with the elongated holes to pass the lines through.

The bi lateral oil cooling radiators for this ST were at some point updated to a center mounted oil cooler.

Thanks for the great pix. I have never seen the ST factory holes for oil lines. Do you know if the oil lines were hard from the factory, or were they optional by the private racer. Here is a shot of the 72 Strahle ST using fabric coated rubber lines.

Here is another 72 ST with what appears to be rubber lines. Seems that maybe these oil lines were customer option.

Gib:

I have not ever seen a period photo of an ST with hard cross over lines but then one hardly ever sees good period photos of the interior, fuel bay or engine bay of these cars.

In fact, the only image with soft lines I am aware of is the shot of the Monte Carlo winning ST with the lid up.

Plumbing may have been left to the individual teams. I will re-check the Sports manual but I do not recall any special parts.

However, the concept of hard lines appeals to me as being more aesthetically pleasing than the soft lines and the attached images show how I plan on handling the cross over lines.

This car is set up with the two holes on each side for the individual soft line connector hoses to pass through the inner fender panel plumbing the hard lines on the coolers to the hard cross over lines sitting in the fuel bay.
