I'm going through a very busy travel period starting a week ago - four weeks out of five on the road. I was in Wichita last week, getting back last night, and leave on Monday for two weeks in Brazil. Needless to say project progress is essentially zero.

Last Saturday, before leaving on Sunday, I did manage to fabricate a lower oil pressure hose. The original hose end was very close to the engine mount. I changed the fitting on the cooler from a straight out to a 45 degree elbow, which increased the clearance to the engine mount. But that necessitated a hose with a 45 degree end fitting. The new hose fits, and there is good clearance to the engine mount. I need to put the firesleeve on it yet.
