Hi Group

There is an auction for a set of XPAG flexible oil lines. Does anybody know
who makes these?

Greg,

Take a hard look at the oil pump fitting that the line feeds into. That
does not look original..at least the bolt heads do not.

By Flexable oil lines I assume you mean the one that feeds from the engine to
the oil pressure gauge. Do not go to crazy bidding Moss sells a pretty nice
line for not a lot of money.

Greg,

John Seim (a member of this group) makes these lines. I purchased a set from him and am very happy with them.

They are made by John Seim. I have them on my car and they are of excellent
quality. I know that John spent a lot of time getting them right.

I have the flexible oil lines made to my specifications. A brass adapter
is bolted onto the oil pump top, allowing for a banjo connection to the
top of the oil pump. New banjo bolts are supplied, along with sealing
washers. As the old banjo bolts had a shoulder to center the hard lines
to the opening, they cannot be used with the new, flexible oil lines.

temperatures that a normal operation XPAG engine will encounter.

I totally agree. I also have John's oil lines on my TC which I installed just prior to GOF West. They are excellent quality.
