Robispec radiator

Anyone else have issues getting the ac condenser lines routed round the radiator?

Right now my line runs next to the top oil fitting, i literally can't get the fitting on.

As others have said, you have to bend the ac lines.

Be careful!

for thos eof you who have this did you have any issues installing the filter afterward. The filter on mine isn't making up very well.

Robi says just keep screwing it on its just tight.

The shop thats installing the oil portion, (among other things) is planning to machine the part to get it to fit.

Any suggestions?
