oil filter pipe
oil filter pipe
Is there a recommended position for the curved pipe on the oil filter assembly? Mine is between the oil filter and the water pump but on my first tiger back in 1969 I am sure that it was between the oil filter and the header tank. At the moment the rubber part of the pipe is only about 10mm from the fan which is a bit worrying.
I suspect that the standard position for the hose was between the filter and water pump, possibly to keep it out of the way of the steering column on LHD cars.

I have mine between the filter and the header tank to keep it away from that pesky fan.

I think peace of mind plays a bigger part in the fitting of things like this than correct does.
