Van's FWF plans call for a AN816-8D in the lower oil cooler port on the accessory case of my narrow deck IO-540. The AN816 is a straight fitting, and the port is the one that is just below and to the right of the oil filter.
My challenge is that when I install and hand tighten the hose provided in the FWF kit to go between the AN816 fitting and the oil cooler, the hose touches the oil filter.
I don't like that. Has anyone else seen this issue? If so, what was your solution? An AN823 45* fitting? That's about all I can come up with.
