Mike,

The wait is tough, but it is well worth it! You will be thrilled with the fit and finish.

I bought the stainless steel line and fittings from Top of the Hill Racing. It is -3 stainless steel line with a 90 degree 1/4" male fitting for the oil filter housing and a 45 degree 1/8" fitting for the oil pressure gauge. I also have a few extra holes in my fingers from working attaching the fitting for the oil filter housing.

I have the street style dash. What I learned yesterday is that with the heater box installed, the fittings are too deep to clear the heater box. I tried switching the fuel gauge and the oil pressure gauge, but the heater still got in the way.

I ended up using the plastic line from the gauge with about a six inch run, and then attached the stainless line behind the dash. I ran the stainless line through the firewall and along the underside of the fender using the wiring clamps, to the X frame, and then to the oil filter housing from the front. I do not have a remote oil filter. See pictures below.





Bob Putnam - Any concerns?

Thanks
