I have been messed around a bit by a company (who normally supplies everytime in their defence) who were supposed to supply my oil feed line and block fitting for my GT3040 EB kit.
Does anyone know where i can get one in the UK?
Or does anyone have a spare (im assuming the GT series is all the same(?))
any help greatly appreciated.
PS,please leave Fensport out,i dont need another bank loan!

Why not just get one made up? Surely 3S know what kinda fittings are required?

As Muhsin says, work out what fittings you need and what length of hose, etc, and then give Think Automotive a call (0208 568 1172).

Did you get a fitting adaptor to go into the turbo?If not you might want to try AET Turbos for them or maybe Owens.BTW you need a 12mm fitting with a 1.25mm pitch to go into your block.But try Think automotive like Dino says,there very helpful.

I use Merlin Motorsport at Castle Coombe race circuit, they now have an online shop so you can find and buy what you want.

=D> think elmos sorted it with the insurance now, the issues was more about costs (for the second time) if it was available it would have been cheaper than getting one made up most likely. But i beleive his supplier has finally aggreed to sort it out.
Re: Oil feed line for GT3040?
its going to be an an-4 oil line.
Also remember to fit the oil restictor in the turbo as EB didn't supply them and there needed unless you want blown oil seals.

I got the eXtremeBoost Kit from an independant private sale from the US,but my supplier who has sorted the rest of my bits for the project just messed up this once,then again i am ordering from home all the time.
Either way,its sorted now!
Yay!onwards!!

Re: Oil feed line for GT3040?
i was just wandering as i've got the manufacturing rights for these now, i've had the design tweeked slightly for better bracing and will be on sale shortly after my gt28rs kits come out.
Got everything ready for those, oil and coolant lines are on the way with all the odds and sods. turbo's are a phone call away and got 10 gt downpipes sat here. Just need to get the manifold adaptors sorted and i'm ready to roll.
The gt30+ range will be simple as i don't have to get another machined up over what is being used for the gt28+ range so should be out a few weeks after the gt28+ range.
