I'm trying to re-route my flexible main oil line (similar to the Fabspeed one) as i seem to be having difficulty clamping it away from the hotter parts of the engine bay/exhaust if i follow the original route of the oil pipe but i keep clashing with parts such as the suspension springs/final muffler if i go round and over the gearbox.
Can anyone describe the route i need to put the pipe or even better post a picture. Fabspeeds own site shows an engine upside down with the pipe as if it is going over the gearbox but the engine is on a stand so i can't get a feel how this works in the car.
All help is appreciated as usual.

I routed mine over the gearbox into the right rear wheel housing and from there to the thermostat. Must dig deep in my computer to find those old pics...
EDIT:
Found a crappy old mobile phone pic from the install on my car, simply route the line over the gearbox:

Fitting the line to the thermostat was very tricky, not a lot of space there.
Dont forget to secure the new oil line to make sure it stays in place.
