Posted: Mon Mar 02, 2015 9:00 pm Post subject: Oil Hose

Hi All,



I'm looking to replace my oil hoses. The one from the pump to the 

radiator has a 90 deg bend in it. I had noted that it was suggested I 

contact Lockwood as they have a metal 90 deg adapter to which regular 

hose could be fitted. I contacted them and they said just to use 'an AN 

fitting size -8'. Looking at the manual though the thread seems to be 

14.4mm so I'm not sure what they meant now. I wonder if they meant to 

make a 90 deg elbow using AN fittings. I couldn't figure the parts I 

would need though.



Any help as to what others have done would be appreciated.



Also, are there any US sources for the rubber engine mounts or are they 

uniquely Europa, in which case I would contact the factory in the UK.



Regards,

Martin Tuck

Martin,



You need a AN8-M14.5 adaptor.  The old Rotax PN was 956641 but it doesnt appear in the parts list any longer.  



You can buy them at lots of places.  I often use Summit Racing for AN fittings.  The page with the adaptor is 



http://www.summitracing.com/search/part-type/an-to-metric-adapter-fittings/fitting-size-2/14mm-x-1-5/fitting-size-1/minus-8-an?N=4294920733%2B4294920642%2B4294947250&SortBy=Default&SortOrder=Default



You will also need a 90 deg hose end and I purchased Aeroquip FNC0820 hose for this.  Works fine.

One very good solution for the oil hose is  "Parker Push-lok 836" 1/2 " 

colour blue 150Â°C max

Hello Everyone,



Although slightly off topic, I did go down the route of replacing all of my hoses with AN fittings and very flexible steel braided hose from Pegasus Racing.  Frans did the same but he used the Kevlar version of the hose which is even more flexible.



I had to TIG  weld on some fittings onto my oil tank and make a banjo for the sump, although I believe there is a Rotax part for this.



It's an expensive exercise, it cost me about $500 at the time, but I no longer have to be concerned about hoses chaffing or getting too hot.  



I have attached the bill of materials and the part numbers are from the Pegasus catalogue
