Today I reinstalled the rear sway bar, and made new -10 hoses to connect the oil filter sandwich adapter to the chassis bulkhead fittings going to the remote oil filters.

Squeak squeak…

Finished routing the vent line through the engine bay, just need to make final connections once the engine and expansion tank are back in place.
