Installed new oil supply line

I installed a new oil supply line today from elephant racing. Getting the old one off wasn't as bad as I thought. I soaked it in PB Blaster for about a week. I bought those special wrenches and used my jack handles as an extension to break the nuts loose. Those extensions were absolutely essential.

One thing I noticed though was that the elephant racing lines are a slightly larger diameter which makes securing them impossible (for me at least) with the old hardware. Only the back two brackets on the rocker panel are in place. The third wouldn't line up. Also, there are two clips in the front fender well that won't fit any more either. The one you see in the top picture isn't secure and I removed it. I may just take it to my indy to finish it up.

Anyway, the lines are in, aren't going anywhere and aren't leaking so I'm happy.

Scott
