Hello, sorry about the delay.
I tried several things with the AOS. In the end, what has worked (so far) was the following.
I took an old aos and mutilated it to the point that only the part going into the engine block was left together with the lower bolting part. This was to get a secure fit into the engine block. Hmm I think I might need to draw this.
Of this contraption I cut a little part of the end of the tube essentially changing it from an "L" to just a straight tube.
To this I attached a nylon "L" (from my favorite local hardware store). I believe it was an 1/8". I epoxied this into this remaining aos base.
On the Porsche Motorsport AOS i basically trimmed the lowest tube (which is intended to go into the block for pickup) almost entirely leaving only about 1/8" sticking from the part where it widens.
In here I fitted a nylon connection (which I'll draw later too) enabling me to connect a short rubber hose to the other aos base.
On the other bigger tube/hole at the bottom of the PM AOS I removed the seal and milled part of the ring away allowing for the big hose (which catches the overflowing oil back into the block) to be able to slide in deeper hence allowing the AOS to sit lower in the engine bay. It will fit with the engine cover.
The other trick is to allow the PM AOS to rotate more clock wise so that the hose that feeds back into the intake can pass under the shifter cables..
Wow.. this was more difficult to explain than I thought.
I'll definitely draw it up and take 1 picture from the top to show the routing.
Well, for your perusal I'll attach some pictures of dissected AOSs.
Enjoy.
