When I was going through the dubious task of ripping out my fuel pedal and throttle assembly I found myself in a difficult position where I could not remove my fuel pedal with any ease. I could not get the driver side footwell panel out as the screws had blended with the chassis metal. The old fuel pedal was gummed up and had to be replaced and a new spring inserted. Eventually I ended up drilling out the screws on the footwell panel (which I should have done first), when I got it all back together, I started up the engine and noticed a stream of oil out of the steel line next to the pedal, I immediately shut her down and noticed that I knicked the oil line going to to the oil gauge.

I recently got Teil 5 on Microfiche and sourced the part number, part #4045400160 or 2805-12-122-6317, page 155 in Teil 5 for reference item #10.

Unipaser is out of this part, SwissArmyVehicles doesn't have it, and I contacted EI and a few others with no resolve.

Can / should I use a 6mm compression fitting to repair the line?

or would the community recommend that I to make this part myself?

If I do, can anyone confirm that this is a 6mm line and what size are the flared fittings? I could just reuse the old ones, yet I would still like to know what size these are.

Thanks to anyone that can help answer this.

I had a mix of hard line and hoses on the 411 for the oil gauge on the dash.

I went to Belmetric for new fittings and polyimide tubing (higher temp + pressure)...6mm. They also have hard lines, but you'll have to bend it and cut it to length. I haven't seen the setup on the 404, but I bet it's just hard line and compression fittings on both ends.

Hope that helps.

If it’s just a nick on the copper capillary tube then just solder it and move on.

Too late, already cut it out. I got a hold of Scott at EI and he said that because it's a low pressure line just use a section of hose and two clamps, problem solved. Those of us who are not mechanics learn as we go. Thank you to all who contribute.
