Hi, folks! I'm trying to route the hose from the Raven inverted oil valve to the oil pump inlet. I have a straight nipple on the valve which protrudes parallel to the firewall, and a straight nipple protrudes from the sump, which angles it slightly stbd of aft. This is a -10 hose, for which the 111 and 124 specify a minimum of 5.5" bend radius. Best bend radius I can get so far is too small -- about 4.75" -- using a 45-deg fitting at the sump end, and bending the tube along a horizontal plane to the valve.
So I'm hoping one of you was much more clever than I and figured out how to make this work? I welcome all ideas! TIA.
