Now on to the rocker oil feed. So i got the nice stainless feed from AN

And then i notice it's the same one as described in this thread

It's definitely too long (across the head as well as down to the crankcase), got the double banjo feed, and uses chrome bolts. Don't like any of that.

So my choices are:

1) Go with it as-is (can the feed at least be moved to the drive side vs the timing side?)
2) Cut the hose and reattach the fittings (with plenty of chances to screw it up)
3) Cut the hose and use a double banjo fitting (at $60 US )

4) Build a complete new set from scratch and try to sell the unused Venhill set
5) Go with the RGM set (think this is a better design, it feeds both rockers simultaneously)

6) Remove and drill out the rocker spindle

I probably should have gone with 6 from the get go, but did not know at the time. Now, it would mean removing the spindle and shipping it out and reinstalling it. And i'd still need to build a line from the crankcase to the head. So, i'm leaning between 3 and 4.
