Turbo Oil Line Replacement for vacuum rack delete?

Hey guys. I've searched and searched and haven't really found anyone mention this specific item, but I'm planning on removing my T2 Vacuum rack entirely. I've got fuel and vacuum sorted out, but theres also an oil feed line as part of this mess. Does anybody know what the specs are so that I could make my own out of braided line and AN fittings, or know somebody that makes a drop in replacement?

Thanks for the info guys. That himni one looks perfect but they are sure proud of it.

​​​​​​I could probably get some braided line (like what I'm replacing the fuel system with) and make my own, does anybody know what the two fitting sizes are?

whoa, no chill. I mean yea, an FC owner with money is probably an FD owner, since when is there something wrong with wanting to pay a more competitive price for a part? As someone with a shopping cart full of fuel line and fittings I feel like I've got a pretty fair idea of what these components cost

add in labor time and overhead costs and you got prices that people have to pay when they don't want to do it themself. businesses have to make a profit otherwise they aren't around for very long.

it's not hard to build one yourself, if you want to save the money just do that.

be cheap, reuse the old line,

just take a dremel and cut off the metal elbows of the vaccum lines that are attached to it, obviously do not cut into the oil line it self...

the hard line is not very visible anyway with the intake manifolds, water pump and alternator in the way no point dressing it up....

or what he said, the hard stock line is still more reliable than most any aftermarket rubber line you will wind up using. i have had a few crack and leak but that is usually due to removing and reinstalling them numerous times.
