DV - you cannot be serious??? I did something you hadn't thought about? Unbelievable! Maybe I ought to go build another car straight away so that all this wonderful knowledge can be put to good use?
Actually, I think it could well be a few years before I summons up the strength to build another. This last one was a real labour of love.
Whaler - I would have thought that -8 was a bit small for
oil lines? I ran mine in -12, which I think equates to 3/4" bore, boy did the fittings cost, especially with the added complication of the Accusump. And the non return valve alone was £90!
