I think doing a double 90 angle will look very average in this highly visible location plus I'd need a third 90 angle at the bottom due to lack of space to flex the braid.

There isn't much space between the fitting pictured and the other end where it will screw onto the cooler but it is achievable.

I managed to shorten the lines slightly the other night as below:



This has drawn the fitting away from the over-rider supports sufficiently that only another roundabout crash-course would now cause contact - lol

I've no intention of testing this!

It's also achieved a pretty nice symmetery between the hose bend and the curved body work in front.

The real tricky part is screwing the return hoses to the back sides of those bulkhead style fittings. I have to work in the gap between the upright and the painted engine bay wall.

Marty made up this tricky fitting for me the first time I went to attach the hoses and I'll re-use it after I've put some protective padding in place just in case.

Cheers
