My PMag T fitting for MP
I am making a plan to install the T fitting for my MP for the 2 PMags and curious as to your (VAF community) thoughts on this location for the T fitting. The PMags will connect from the left and right side and the upper piece to the 90 degree AN fitting on the firewall. Wanted to get some opinions before I made the T fitting permanent...

Ryan, this location looks fine to me, but may I suggest a short piece of hose, of the appropriate i.d., slit longitudinally, placed over the engine mount tube. Then tie-wrap the fitting to the hose. I don't think it's a good idea to tie-wrap directly to the tube as it can cut into the tube over time. Just want to make sure you are aware of this.

That location looks fine to me as well - just about anything will work. One thing to think about is that you'll want to disconnect the line whenever you time the P-Mags. Disconnecting a line for a barbed fitting can be a real pain. The hose that is supplied with the P-Mags fits PERFECTLY in the QD static fittings that Stein sells - use one of those on the firewall manifold - or a "T" on the engine mount, where you have the barbed "T" - and it can make your life easy down the road....

Thanks... Paul I will have to look into the QD static lines from Stein. Did you ever get pics up of your recent install?
