Christen inverted oil system

Does anyone have pictures of a Christen system installed in a RV-8?
I'm getting ready to install in mine and it looks like a tight fit so a picture of one actually done would be most helpful.
 
Here are some and you are right, it is a tight fit.

That hose that goes under the sump rubs on the bottom cowl. I have it cushioned so it doesn't dig into the cowl, but it is tight. I do have a modified engine with an angle valve sump, so yours may vary.

Thanks

Thanks for the pics! What a tight fit - wonder if Aircraft Spruce has an AN version of KY...

What great paint job. It would fit my helmet - it's painted like a Texas flag.
