    Oil Console Question

    Hello all,
    I'm starting a restoration of a 1971 T using the original engine.

    When I bought the car last fall, it had a stroked and bored VW engine installed, but I got the original engine with it in pieces.

    The oil tank was not included with the car when purchased. I purchased a tank at the PCA Carlisle swap last weekend that has an oil filter mount on it, but it doesn't have the "extensions" for the hoses and thermostat like this one: https://www.early911sregistry.org/fo...ht=oil+console

    My car is carbed. Is the oil console in the link above only used for fuel Injected E's and S's? Or am I supposed to have that for my T as well?

    Thanks in advance for your help!

    That type of oil filter console is 911S only. It sounds like you already have the correct oil filter mount.
    Good luck with the new car!

    Post some pics of what everything looks like as currently installed. That will help the experts on the forum a lot. Good luck on your journey!

    That is the plumbing for a front mount oil cooler. I doubt your car has one.

    It doesn’t. But thank you for the explanation of what the extra lines connect to!
