I read in a T Type magazine that one could use copper lines to connect the TC XPAG oil filter to the pump and to the block. I believe it was issue 3 or 4, in an article on making your own oil filter cannister. I would definitely NOT recommend copper for this application. Copper will work harden when subject to vibrations, and will ultimately crack. I have had this experience myself, and just wanted to ensure that all those who love the sound of a healthy XPAG do not suddenly have their engine run out of oil. -Rick, TC 7881 -Rick Waters __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?

Hi Rick Waters, It is a practise to heat up the old copper pipes, and washers before using again. Thus you can take away the stress of the molecule and copper will be more flexible. A rigid strap with proper fixing of the canister is also important.

The originals were copper as are mine still, just anneal them occasionally ( once every 10 years) Ross

Heat it to a dull red and quench it.

Thanks Larry TC4703 Yahoo! Groups Links

There is no need to quench the copper after heating, quenching just cools the copper quicker Ross
