I bought this premium Venhill rocker arm oil line recently to upgrade from the plastic line and have to say that I'm not at all happy with it. It is well made but waaaaaaaaay too long and has cheap looking plated hardware. If I had not already installed it on the motor, I would return it to the vender. Right now I'm so unhappy with this that I'm thinking of delaying the project yet again while the plastic unit goes out to a local hydraulic specialist to be replicated in braided material covered with a plastic sheath. This project has already cost nearly as much as a moon shot and has taken twice as long . . .
The least awful routing we could come up with:
Inelegant double banjo:
It will probably work, but looks awful and is in danger of snagging something:
Here is the other side, still long and awkward:
Surely good suppliers & venders can do better than this? This was not a cheap set, I paid something like $180.00 US for it just a few weeks ago.
Vintage Paul, fuming a bit about this . . .
