Hi All
Probably a common issue, but the olive fitting that connects the oil line to the MK1 head adapter fitting is persistently leaking and no manner of tightening seems to help. The fitting is part of the Drags line, but can a replacement fitting be sourced and resoldered to the copper line? Or possibly a compression fitting (rather than soldering) that has an appropriate olive?
I have had some success on the head side of the fitting using 1/8" Viton dowty washers, but in time the heat seems to murder them too!
Regards
Cam

All the fittings used to make up the oil pipes that drags make and sell are available as separate parts, although not listed. See 5188-87, 88 and 89

Use a copper washer Cam, it gets very hot up there.
