Can anyone provide photos of their RR corner hose/harness routing?
I am re-assembling my car after winter heavy shop visit/motor swap. I photo documented most areas pretty well except the RR corner . My hose replacements were identical length to the old ones and I re-used fittings. After a number of trials, it seems like I have too much stuff trying to fit through the chassis and clear the RR rocker. The one difference on the 'new' engine is the remote oil filter adapter is clocked at a different position and the oil lines are coming off lower. I don't want to back off the adapter and unseat the o-ring. Different AN fittings might do the trick. Zip ties have provided clearance, but I think there is room for improvement.
Thanks in advance.

A couple of PMs with photos helped, thanks.
I did make one change to help fittings clear each other. My lube system sequence is now:
Oil pump out > Filter > Cooler > Pump in. I don't think there is anything fundamentally wrong with swapping the previous Cooler > Filter order. Anyone see a problem?

I'm surprised the old style would have the Cooler in front of the Filter. This would turn the cooler into a partial filter collecting garbage in the stagnant areas.

I'll have to check mine this weekend and see if it is the same way. If it is, I guess I'm going to have to replumb as well because I'd prefer that the filter be the only thing acting to strain the oil.

You shouldn't have to worry about unseating the o-ring under the adapter. It's in a really deep grove. Sometimes a fresh o-ring will change where the adapter ends up pointing. Also, aren't there angled NPT->AN fittings on the adapter? Sometimes those can be manipulated, IIRC.

Bimmr635- Yes, filter first did seem like the correct order. The other reason is the pressure drop across the filter will take the load off the cooler. (Noted in the Pegasus catalog).

Dave H- Yes there was a 45 deg. fitting on the Out port and a straight on the In port. I ended up swapping them and re-orienting direction. Thanks for the tip on the o-ring.
