| - | 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. | ||
| - | * With double bends, the bender wouldn't work well. | ||
| - | * And the tube tended to flatten out or kink when trying to bend by hand. | ||
| - | - Getting the bends in the right place is difficult. | ||
| - | * You have to mark the bend location on the tube and get the bender in the right spot and at the correct angle. | ||
| - | * The plan was to feed the oil down to the filter hose and back in copper. | ||
| - | * This should leave enough room for the oil feed from the tank to be run entirely in rubber. | ||
| - | * The two lines are temporarily in position (note smooth curves). | ||
