I’m having trouble mounting my new heat exchanger on the passenger side because the oil line that comes out of the case is in the way. Ben said I should be using a stock line. Anybody have a photo I can compare this with?

Yes.. My supply of these should be ready soon and I could ship you one to try

Most guys are using stainless braided lines. Mark Epstein has a really clean setup with good pictures.

I tried to make my pms conversion hard line work with the heat exchangers. I didn’t. It worked fine with headers but no room with the he’s. I made stainless steel lines and it fit easily. I bought a kool tool to make the lines and it went from a pita to very easy.
Ben’s hardline is very nice but I was routing the line from the engine up the passenger long so using the steel line with an a/n fitting worked best for me.

Marks correct saying using a hose as being a good solution,if the OP isn't going this way you could buy the full length pipe from Pelican for about 30 odd dollars and bend it to clear,this pipe is plated copper and very soft,cut it down and refit the end to suit the hose length to the tank.
I used this pipe and bend it so it lined up with my bracket on the case and was tucked up as high as possible out of harms way.

Also I'am sure Ben could assist with some better solution.

No Ben I'am sorry now think it was around $70 ,got it from Pelican for that price or there abouts,that was a while back and see they now list same OEM part for $104,it came from a 75 911S,I had cut the curved end off and sweated the fitting back so it went straight to my tank.

Yes, the 911 hardlines are pretty cheap used. I have one that I was going to send to Ben to turn into a pms replica.
