All,
I'm replacing my lines on the 20B/13Brewtt using Richard's adaptor, and
this guy makes them if you care to have them done.....please email him,
not me. If you are going this route, it would be prudent to replace
those brittle plastic lines with more heat resistant durable stuff. I've
done this mod to both my and my wife's FD 1994 rx7 cars.

I have seen the two cycle adaptors on Rotary Aviations website. They
are very impressive. I use as many OEM banjo fittings as I can find but
I sell more hoses than I find ends so I have to make fittings. I also
make the crimp collars. As far as setting prices you could figure $1.40
per inch per line.
Now for those that can supply old banjo fittings can save $5 per line.
The ends are what push the price up.

The metering valves are controlled by vacuum so you could probably just
piggyback a switch from the TPS.
I would also consider having a switch at WOT that would kick open a
solenoid and inject the oil into ports made on the intake with some sort
of needle valve adjusters so that you could adjust them down to a level
that would be just below the smoke at the exhaust.

Take care, Mike   scalliwag@charter.net

Good idea. IMHO there are more dead rotaries out there because of those cheap
nylon apex seal oil metering lines than all other causes combined.
