Iain's 20XE Trackday Nova

This is why i used std union/pipes trimmed down. So they'd clear...

What did you do with your pipes Benn? as mine leak from them crimped ends, i was thinking of just jubilee'ing them to clamp it up?

Best pics i can find off hand...

Still not sure what you did mate?

Engine end, slide the hose as far up as i could with a bit of hair spray to help seal, (one side was still the barbed fitting bit) then jubilee clipped up tight. Both end the fittings have the barbed like bits..

Try and run them by the tie bar if you get me.

I'll attempt to copy this picture tomorrow, might only be possible with the stubby oil filter he has?

There's a mk2 Astra in the scrappy with standard oil cooler and metal pipework, I plan to have those off tomorrow to see if they're any better too!

My old red one ran like dis....

I just tried that Simps, not enough flex in my hoses. Did you have to make a hole for them to come through the front panel too?

In my bid to shamelessly rip off Dar, I have sourced a shorter oil filter from Vauxhall:

Hoses now drop down inside the tie bar:

And with the aid of a hand, or some clever bracketry, pclips and cable ties it should clear everything!

Looks good to me dude! You having the fittings swaged on?
