RTK WROTE: "haha frank you and your crazy antics :) but ill probably go braided for safety :)" Frank's does appear to be braided, and within a plastic sheathing - so realistically it's better than just braided hose on its own. An alternative to using that oil gallery port (as people have raised the issue of oil supply to there in the past) is to use a sandwich plate for the oil filter and use a fitting off that. ---dens |
