clearance issue.
Dale Rogers has made

from Dale in a few months.

I have been mulling over options for a few years now but it is
getting closer to the time to start coming up with a strategy to deal with the
clearance issue on the right front side of my Conversion Concepts 13B
mount. As is came, there is a clearance issue due to oil
out (?) fitting; so I'm wondering what some of you who
have "gone before" did to address this issue.
Thanks for any ideas.

Piece of cake.
Remove the hydraulic fitting. Plug the hole.
Make up an aluminum block that replicates the bottom of the stock filter
stand.
The outer of the two galleries under that stand is the other end of the
same gallery that
your hydraulic fitting is screwed into now. So you just put the oil into
the upper end of the same gallery.
The stock oil pressure relief valve will work as before and the oil
pressure sender port will work as before.
The stock banjo fitting is not normally used because it is a flow
disaster and it is heavy. Those hoses are what I use on my race car. Very
light but easy to damage.
You can make the plug from the original banjo fitting. A fitting end for
it you might say.
I have pictures if you need them.
