Oil return pipe

[JohnW]

Where can someone buy a replacement oil return pipe for an A model engine? Is there a source for reproduction parts or is a flea market the best avenue?

Is your pipe lost or damaged? remember there is at least 2 configurations of this pipe also.

Brattons has them. Wack the old one sideways abit and it will come out. I don't remember ever seeing a bad one.

Bert's in Denver would have a good used one.

Thanks for the information. Mine has been welded and the heat has warped it and it leaks. It is nothing major, it is just aggrivating having a drip I can't stop.

Could you not simply cut the ends off, and reweld them with a new bent pipe? Or perhaps straighten them out?

This method works great for the oil filler pipe but I can't picture it being used successfully for the oil return pipe.
