Thank you @67GTA This is very helpful. I was leaning toward upgrading the fittings and given the feedback from Rick, it sounds like the majority of contact was coming from an oversized fixture mounted to the top of the diff cover. I am certain a solution can be made. Also, great insight on the custom hose with heat shielding, hopefully you can find your DYME invoice to simplify the process. It is good insurance given the harsh environment under there.

If you have an image of yours in its installed position, it would be great to have reference photos to see how you routed your hose

Here’s a screenshot of the configuration. The order number is on there too, so Brendan may be able to replicate from their records as well.

I won’t be around the car for a couple weeks, but will try and get a some reference pics in early July.

Another note on this - I’m using the port circled in red on the watts link cover in lieu of the one on top. Cortex v1 cover didn’t have the top vent port, which was the location on the stock Boss cover that was tough to get low enough to not interfere with the Bob’s can.
