| In reference to this post: La-Z-Link and this post: La-Z-Link I had two problems. First of all - the labelling of the oil lines in the pictures that I posted are incorrect. Guess I should've have said "how is it possible to screw them up?" :-) For the record, the shorter hose goes on the driver's side. The longer hose goes on the passenger side. I'll post pics of how I routed them later today. Secondly, the 90 degree elbow that was included with my kit was a 1/8" NPT fitting. The pipe threads in the block are 1/8" BSPT. I spend a few hours scouring the NoVA area to find anything close for a blank to make my own fitting, since I've got a 1/8" BSPT die. Unfortunately, there was nothing to be found anywhere. The best solution is to order a new fitting from somewhere on the internet. Unfortunately, I didn't have the time. I ended up grinding off the NPT threads and recutting them with the proper die. There was sufficient length on the fitting to allow for full thread engagement. Worked great, no leaks at all :-) Just an FYI.
