I have a Monkworkz generator that I'm mounting to my vacuum pad. I bought B&C's BC704-H adapter to get an oil line off the vacuum pad for use with the inverted oil system. (Doing so eliminates the "T" in the upper breather line and gives the oil valve a dedicated port to draw oil when inverted).

Test fitting the adapter I couldn't believe how tight it was between the engine case and the Bendix mag. It looks like the only way to mount it is to connect the AN10 hose fitting first, align the flat sides of the AN fitting nut to make it narrow enough to fit that gap, and install the combined adapter/hose on the engine as a unit.

Has anybody else run into a similar problem? I have an O360-A4M parallel valve.
