Title: Oil feed for K03 - where to buy?
Post by: cheys03 on October 05, 2010, 06:19:11 PM
I was wondering - has anyone any top tips on where to get an oil feed pipe from the back of the head to a K03?
The Rothe unit is ~£75 plus postage and if needs be I'll bite the bullet and get that, but was hoping there's a cheaper way?
TIA

Ebays got quite a few dunno about quality Quite piceys aswell but a damn site cheaper than £75 !! Whilst where on the subject are there any major dos or donts( size/ material / fitting?) with home made oil returns I've just got a solid pip with a bend in it and a flange weled on the end then a flat palte welded into the sump with two dome nuts in it. The solidpipe is then welded to a stainless braided flexible one  that goes in the turbo.
   Im sure you can make your own for even cheaper than eBay
