Message when doing my TT conversion, I cut 2 small sections of that pipe and replaced it with short pieces of rubber hose, which made everything fit well. However, in retrospect, I don't recommend doing this since it just adds more locations for potential oil leaks.

You're right about the steel pipe allowing the fluid to cool, and replacing it with a shorter rubber hose would be a bad idea. What I would do is use a steel pipe which is surrounded with heat sink fins, this is the norm for drifters, who's PS fluid is put to the extreme test.

Here's one of many models you can pick up for under $25.

Good luck.

George
