Right Vent Line Exit location 59 692/3 GT

#1 Post by Chris Frank »

Where does the line on the right side of the Vent box on the rear fire wall exit? is there supposed to be a hole in the side tin or the rear tin?

Hi Chris - the vent hose from the right most vent box pipe when viewed from the rear of the car goes down through a hole in the right side horizontal sheet metal on the flywheel end of the motor, not the horizontal sheet metal on the side of the motor. Let me know if you need a photo.

Found this photo from your earlier post. Is this correct?

Yes, that is the piece and hole you are looking for. If you have the original metric oil vent hose the fit in the sheet metal hole is very tight. Which makes removing the hose when you need to remove the motor a pain. I massaged the hole to open it up about 1 mm, which still gave a nice slip fit, but it can be removed without cursing.
