O.CT FMIC install finally completed...
I'm a perfectionist (read ****) about things fitting just right, and I especially don't like strain on hoses. I noticed some strain at the hose connection under the passenger side headlight here -

So I fabbed an aluminum 45 out of some 2.5" stock. The part that came with the kit is on the right.

Aluminum 45 is installed and now there is absolutely no strain on these hoses. I also pressure tested the system to be sure it is tight.

I decided to mod the aluminum bumper by cutting back to ensure clearance with the hoses. Vinyl/rubber door edging installed over cut.

That's it for now. I'll be on the East Coast for the next couple weeks. When I get back I'll finish the Oil Cooler, Hella Horns, and TTDA Feeds.
