This oil breather/overboard line completes the air/oil separator installation. I had either two choices here: either 1) run a straight tube down from the separator, using standoffs to attach to the firewall or 2) introduce multiple curvatures to circumnavigate the various obstacles and structures on th efirewall. Which one do you think I chose? I don't know why either.
First let me say that this line is secure, and will do it's job...which is to dump excess oil overboard in the event I overfill the reservoir in the engine. However, it is not pretty. I used the "pack-the-tube with-sand-before-bending" technique, and a bench vise. It was my first time with this technique, and I admit perhaps I should have used something softer than T6160 aluminum tube. I suppose it might have come out looking even worse if I hadn't even packed it with sand, but it looks absolutely awful compared with the otherwise aesthetic installation I am attempting here.
In any case, I'm going to leave it for now, and see how much it bugs me over the next few weeks.
