Craig,
Yes, that is my complaint. A 45 degree ell would work fine. No matter how I turn
the inlet, it runs directly toward the Ring Mount.
Tom,
Yes, I have the Rotax manuals and refer to them often. Turning the inlet still
doesn't avoid the Ring Mount.
Surely someone has run into this problem before. Zenith instructions are to run
the hose in front of the Ring Mount, but there's no room because of the two
left side cylinder head hoses in this area.
Thanks for the comments.
Tommy

Hello Tommy:
One trick I was taught many years ago was: "If you can't do it with a
45... You can do ANYTHING with two 45's."
The swivel combinations with two 45's are almost endless.
And that way you can keep a straight fitting on the hose.

I wonder if I could take two 45's and a short 2 inch copper fitting and make it
work. Does anyone know if a sweated joint would hold up? Each end of the fitting
would be clamped to a rubber hose (thinking out loud).
Thanks,

I don't know if you can put together a solution from these silicon hose
elbows from Pegasus but take a look around their web site:

I have some copper sweated fittings on my airplane and they have been work
ing great but one thing I did to keep the hose from coming off is wrap a
peice of small copper wire around the fitting end that I was planning on
putting my rubber hose on and sweat that wire in place I figured when I
tightened the clamp it would give it a good bite so the hose dont slip of
