| - | The oil return fitting is on top of the case beside the vent, not in front of the pump. \\ | ||
| - | So there's no easy way to route the lines toward the front for a filter. \\ | ||
| - | The return needs to run down and forward to the oil filter and back to the tank. \\ | ||
| - | (in addition to the vent line and the oil feed to the pump) \\ | ||
| - | |||
| - | The oil tank mounting bracket has a large grommet in it. \\ | ||
| - | The hole was enlarged to help cut down kinks while passing 3 lines through it. \\ | ||
| - | The hole was filed out to a rounded rectangular shape and a large round grommet was cut down fit the new hole. \\ | ||
| - | |||
| - | Because of tight space, short sections of copper tubing were used in place of thick rubber hose. \\ | ||
| - | A short piece of rubber was placed at each end of the copper lines. \\ | ||
| - | The ID of the copper tubing is slightly smaller than the desired 3/8” so it isn’t ideal. \\ | ||
| - | But it avoids any 'squishing' of the rubber lines. \\ | ||
| - | And is probably still may be better than the 90 degree elbow joint at the output connection. | ||
| - | |||
| - | The copper is refrigeration tube which is soft drawn and in a coil and doesn't need annealing. \\ | ||
| - | Copper work-hardens easily however. \\ | ||
| - | A tubing bender was used for the bends in small increments with care not to make too tight a bend. \\ | ||
| - | The only problems were with double bends that the former couldn't get around. \\ | ||
| - | The tube tended to flatten out or kink when trying to bend by hand. \\ | ||
