The turbo charger needs a return line to feed oil back to the sump. I brought a few bits and pieces planning to drill a hole in the sump and fit a tank connector.
Here we have: 15mm flanged tank connector 1/2'' BSP female elbow 1/2'' BSP to 16mm hose barb |
I spotted the oil level switch. This came to my rescue.
Above: oil level switch (some bolts removed at this point | Above: Oil level switch removed |
As luck would have it, the round part of the oil level switch was almost exactly the same size as the flange on the tank connector. I made an aluminium plate to pick up the bolt holes
Some builder's silicone and the gasket from the oil level switch got the oil drain to seal properly. Note that the seal is on the face of the tank connector. Due to the construction of the sump this will not seal if you make a traditional style gasket fitting over the aluminium plate part. Took me 4 attempts to work this out...
