bear924 Posted 26January, 2017 Report Share Posted 26January, 2017 I'm currently doing those fuel lines as part of my engine rebuild project. I'm also redoing the fuel injection hose lines as I understand they can let go and cause a fire (I've had the line from the clutch reservoir fail and cause a fire before... not fun) . So my research has led me to believe that the best way to redo the fuel lines is to purchase the rubber hose and make them up from there. Late last year I purchased the hose from the US and have successfully trialed making one connection, currently waiting for my fuel lines to be cleaned up then I'll try rebuilding the entire system.Here's something to read about it:http://924board.org/viewtopic.php?t=41368&postdays=0&postorder=asc&start=15http://www.ferrarichat.com/forum/technical-q/13095-308-f-i-plastic-lines-injectors-weak-design-4.htmlhttp://www.unobtaniumsupply.com/I didn't end up purchasing my line from unobtanium.. however can't find my supplier by googling. I'll have a look in my shed tomorrow and post an update. I went with the original OEM look of the rubber outer, fuel line inner.If I'm successful at making my lines up I could probably do others however won't be able to until my 924 is back on the road (and when you see how many boxes of bits I have in my shed, you might decide not to hold your breath :-) ) michel and Dreamr 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bear924 Posted 28January, 2017 Report Share Posted 28January, 2017 I purchased my fuel hose from belmetric.com, an example of the hose I'm talking about is https://www.belmetric.com/rubber-insulated-polyamide-c-14_184_1167/rhpoly6x12-rubbed-insulated-polyamide-6x12mm-p-6771.html?zenid=brt7l69stsq5fgrh223alo3ke0Note: I have not cross referenced part numbers etc. Use the part numbers in my previous post and you''ll find them. I also realised I didn't mention that the hoses are cohline hoses. I contacted cohline and asked if they had an Australian distributor and they told me that they did not. Last point. I was also able to purchase the braided air hoses from belmetric that will match the original as mine had all gone quite hard.And no... I am not the new owner of a brown 924t.... I was actually impressed at how quickly it sold, nice car though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bear924 Posted 18February, 2017 Report Share Posted 18February, 2017 (edited) I agree about the 924 on gumtree, a very clean looking example at a price that seems about right to me.Last night I was on the Gosford museum website as I'm considering a visit on the way home from the PFA tasmania trip. Note that the brown 924 turbo mentioned in this post is still listed as being for sale on their website. Edited 18February, 2017 by bear924 Added the comment about the 924 turbo.

SteveF Posted 4March, 2017 Report Share Posted 4March, 2017 There was a nice looking 1977 924 NA for sale a few weeks ago in SA which had a new paint job and interior refresh for about $6 or $7k. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carrot01 Posted 4March, 2017 Report Share Posted 4March, 2017 there's an ADM 924 turbo driveable project with all paint/body work done for $7500 here in Perth - I can post the link up if anyone is interested Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
michel Posted 4March, 2017 Author Report Share Posted 4March, 2017 I'm thinking good 924T's meaning beauties are more than what most would consider paying. There have been a couple in the last 6-12 months that were on car sales for around 20k initially and aside from that UK white one probably make in hindsight good buying The value proposition on these cars in terms of fun versus initial buy in is ??? if you're into 70's turbo tech and styling what else is out there generally that can compare ? Saab 99 , 2002, 930! ? In P choice the 930 in today's market ain't even in the same bookshelf let alone page and the 924 even more 'rarer'Most, probably cost just as much again and more to put right, making a. couple of those 15-20k cars from 2016 , smart.But even if they cost ya double triple the buy it's still likely less than the cost of a full rebuild on a 930 motor.Even the shitty ones are fun, dings rust n dust torn seats don't negate it ? micknine01 and LeeM 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

michel Posted 4March, 2017 Author Report Share Posted 4March, 2017 PS is that silver T originally from QLD ? PPS agreed lots of money if it needs a repaint and a fiddle.Though out of curiosity if say it was owned by Warwick Cappa and or was the first 924 T delivered what would be reasonable ?
