    Need some help arranging fuel and oil lines

    In the process of completing a full restoration on a 72 911 E, and I'm having trouble figuring out how to arrange the oil and fuel lines on the body. Does anyone have pics of the fuel line arrangement off the pump and the right side wheel well oil line arrangement? I have the schematics from the microfiche but it doesn't show how these items are fitted to the chassis.

    Here is a photo of under carriage. How are the fuel lines supposed to wind through the brackets to the fuel line at the transmission tunnel?



    This isn't the best angle, I'm not sure how the hard oil line on the left fits to the chassis. I believe this got bent during shipping. Is it supposed to tuck into the chassis notch running lengthwise?


    Thanks!

    Here are two images of the fuel lines for the 69-71 MFI rear driver side.

    I'm sure someone will post a proper picture of the fuel line routing soon (the 70-71 routing is different) but if not I'll shoot some this weekend for you.

    Here are a few shots from a '72T with the fuel lines running from the tunnel to fuel pump. I don't have any shots of how it ran into the engine compartment. The lower two 'brackets' are for the fuel line... the upper bracket (not shown in my pics, but seen in your pic) is for the two breather lines that are part of the evap system and are shown in my pics as the two hanging lines on the right side of the pics (runs from engine to charcoal cannister if I recall). Hope this helps...

    Thanks for the replies everyone, I have arranged the fuel lines properly into the brackets and such. One more question though... I can't find a diagram of where the two fuel breather lines go one they're fished up into the engine bay. Does anyone have a good diagram of the fuel breather system for the 72?
    Thanks!

    I don't have a diagram handy, but one line goes to the back of the aircleaner, and the other goes to a fitting on the fan housing, approximately over the #1 cylinder.

    Oil Line

    Phil
    I noticed your one oil line that has a 90 degree bend with a fitting that goes ends in front of the tortion tube.And goes towards the front of the car. I have an oil line with that bend and fitting that is about 4 feet long, slightly bent towards the end, and has no fitting on the end. I am attaching a picture and wondered if your line is similar to my line?

    Thanks Ed.

    Mike: My line hugs the rocker then goes straight up then forward where it meets up with the flexible oil cooler line. I figured out where everything was supposed to go. Those oil lines are pretty maleable and got bent in shipping.
