Blue locktight is your friend - This the 1" nut that secures the oil offset
Oiling the offset gasket - those are air bubbles.., not contaminants on the gasket
Off set installed and capped
Scooter is running in this shot - no leaks - quiet bitch ain't it

I've heard some say they're hard..., other say you must have special tools
BS - keep it simple - it is simple

Tube end on the left..., Tube nut on the right
What's needed to make ANs (1) Sharp hacksaw (2) Electrical tape (3) WD40 - or silicone spray (4) Wrench (5) Bench vise..., or another wrench (6) Hose and connector
WD really is your friend
The hose nut screws onto the AN hose until fully seated - use WD40 to help make it easier to get the hose fully seated
Important note:
Once the hose is fully seated into the hose nut - never twist the hose nut again while assembling
Doing so will F up the integrity of the connection

Inserted hose end..., into hose nut..., after hose fully seated into hose nut
Hold the hose nut stationary - while tightening hose end into hose nut - spray WD40 onto hose end..., to help it seat into hose / hose nut
One end completed - measuring / marking in preparation to make other end - for proper length - mark hose where the hose nut meets the hose end
Use electrical tape - and tightly wrap on each side of the line to cut - tape keeps the shield from unraveling and becoming an unmanagable rats nest - that cannot be inserted into the hose end..., it also keeps wire secure and not sticking your finger - which hurts like hell
Notice how neat this just cut end - is

Fully inserted hose into hose end - for the other end just cut
Tighten the hose end like before - one completed AN hose
Damn - the hose is the correct length - how the hell did that happen
Top X connect hose is installed - and clutch cable re-installed
Oil offset installed..., original oil filter back on - can do the base line temp test
Then replace the original oil filter w/ the reusable one (PCS4C) - then can do that temp test to see if any benefit from just the PCS4C filter - in stock location
To do the oil tube test - need add'l connectors to plumb correctly from the oil offset..., to the base of each tube
I could have half assed it..., and made it work - but that ain't me
Connectors are on order and should be in wed
