Oil Return Line

My oil return line is cracked and broken. Its been rigged together temporarily. I went to the parts store to get a new line and they had none. I was sent to the hydraulic hose places. I went to maybe 10 different fuel, oil, hydraulic, etc. hose places. Each place sent me somewhere else, then that place sent me somewhere else, and so on. One store owner even got hostile when i told him it was off of a roatary engine. Anyway nobody had anything remotely like it and couldnt make it because of the banjo fitting where the line goes into the engine in the rear left, under the spark plug wires. I searched the net for a replacement line and have been unnsuccessful. Can someone show me where to buy the replacement line, please. Thanks much

hah, I was removing my motor and couldn't get that line off, ended up rounding the head on it so I had to cut the hose, i've been looking for one too.. I've found a few on ebay and i've found some brand new steel braded hose.. let me get the links for you..

If your car is that first gen in your avatar ebay wont work for you... but Mazdatrix has the steel braded set.. http://mazdatrix.com/b6.htm

hope that helps man..

Usually people that deal in hoses and hyrolic lines will set you up. I have always been told that in Tampa, Amazon Hose is the place. I had a friend buy new ones from Mazdatrix, expensive though I think $120?
