I have AN hose that I'll be running from the 914/6 oil tank to the (engine mounted) oil cooler. I know that the cooler has to be modified but since I have a simple weld-on straight AN adapter, couldn't I just weld that adapter onto the blank end of the cooler's pipe then use a 90 degree AN fitting to attach it to the hose? I mean is there enough room to do that? Would the cooler's pipe (which has no threads) have to be shortened, by how much? Would a 45 degree fitting work..I already have one of those? I haven't seen anyone do it this way, only seen 90 degree fittings welded to the cooler's pipe..any pics?

Hey thanks for the input, looks like I'm gonna have to buy a 90deg AN fitting then and use the 45 that I have on something else or sell it. BTW, regarding the oil drain situation..I'd like to buy a drain fitting like the one in the "914 Engine Swap" article in Excellence a couple of months back. The guy had added it right around where the hose goes under and into the wheel well..must be much easier to change the oil. BUt, I can't figure out who sells it.
