made a braided flexable oil feed today

[_iforget_glanza]

well just thought id share this as it may be of use to some people

basicly my old oil feed broke off from the flange on the turbo.so i tapped the flange to accept a banjo bolt with a 90 degree bend on it.then cut off the pipe off the o ring where it connects to the block and tapped that to accept a double ended male banjo bolt. i then joined the flange and o ring with nylon reinforced piping which i covered with braided steel covering to prevent wear of the nylon reinforced pipe. then secured each end with jubaliee clips

and now a few pics.

Done the same meself a few years back far better job than the factory setup. I got rid of the banjo welded a connecting screw onto the feed and got a connector to go straight into the block got a proper braided line made up then . DIY ftw

i wouldnt be happy with the thought of a jubile clip holding on an oil feed pipe with the amount of pressure running through it.

if you looking a pipe made that screws on like coreys, HASS out in raphoe would be your best option.

cant see why a jubile clip wouldnt hold it theres not that much pressure there

Not alot of pressure?? there will be over 50 psi of pressure going through there.....

I agree with Johnny. I wouldnt be happy with the jubilee's, but it isnt my car to decide.

loosen ur oil filter a turn or 2 till there is up and down movement, then start the car and u cant move it at all, there is some pressuse goin through it, dont forget to tighten it if u try it, lol

Just because ye can swing out of it doesn't mean that under the pressure the oil feed runs it wont leak out. I'd be keeping a constant eye on it
