Thanks for the input on my oil line issue.
I went to a meeting the other day for the Antique Auto Club of the Bahamas (of which I am a proud member). There I showed some of the members my broken oil line. They directed me to a local supply house and, voila, for $2.02 USD the whole thing was replaced. I installed it this afternoon and my oil leak problems are now solved.
Not original, but functional.

Mike, can you share any info on the hose you found. I've not been able to find anything localy.
Locally was the mantra on my car club. However....
Life here in Nassau is still a bit old fashioned. At lunch time I went over to the supply house to which I was referred. I arrived at 1:00pm only to find a 'Closed' sign hanging in the window. Upon closer examination I learned that the shop closes from 1:00-2:00 for lunch. When I shared my experience with my friends that evening they laughed, saying that was a relic of the old colonial era. One of my buddies related a story of a restaurant on one of the out islands that (still) closes down at 1:00 <span style="text-decoration: underline">for lunch</span>!
Anyway, I used a 1/8th inch diameter plastic hose. That's what came off the car. It had two 3/8th brass fittings on each end with small compression fittings. All told, I need the hose and compression fittings. I reused the brass fittings. Total cost = $2.02. Even here in over-priced Nassau that was a bargain.
