That's probably what I will end up doing but I'm not going to throw away the copper tubing idea just yet, Still need to do some testing, to it's credit the copper tubing is held captive in position and the end of the p/u tube is supported, also, the entire modified area is submerged in oil at all times. I picked up my new 1972 240z today, the car that will be the home for this bmw transplant. I can't in all good conscience keep modifying my early 1970 matching numbers Z, I'll put it back to stock and pass it on to someone who cares about original stuff. The new 72 Z can then be heavily modified without too many people screaming at me. Also, I got my oil pan back from Ben the aluminum welder, he did beautiful work. The first thing I did though was start cutting it up for the final fit testing.

Glad to see you guys are all connecting. Where did all of you end up getting together?

Dinner at "Buckley's". It was very good and not unreasonable. Seems like a nice family owned restaurant. If you're close and looking for food...

Thanks Tom! I need to get the engine bay looking as good as yours does! Thanks for the kind words! I've stowed the D hubcaps and the steel wheels in the garage, and I've got a set of ARE Libres, but the '72 is currently sitting on those. I thought about getting a set of wheels from here in Japan that would be fitting, but I think I'll keep the American looking 5 slot mags on the white car since I like the way it looks with them. The '72 will be my mod car and needs a mountain of work before these finally go on.

I can't get into our zello channel even though I've verified email from my darn cell phone
