This was argued when she first posted about it, my response was about the same. Theres nothing tying the front of the car together.

 

The whole reason I took the blasted thing out was to drain my trans. fluid.
Then it got late and I noticed how much easier it would be to change the oil filter without that pipe.
So off it will stay until I change my oil (next weekend). There hasn't been a difference in the way my car drives/handles.
I do appreciate your input and warning!

^This is my first time posting about it.
However you and I did have a conversation regarding that pipe.
Matt maybe could you make a custom piece to replace the that pipe.
One with a bend so there's plenty of room to change the oil filter, and another to have access to the trans. drain plug.
All while holding the front of the car together and being much lighter.
Do it up and give me a discount for the idea!

 

post, talk, it all blends together to me.


I might consider making a thinner replacement, but my plate is full right now, it'll take time. I have a roll bar that isn't coming together as quick as I'd like, and knife handles that still need to see jet time.

What I can make you for the trans drain (which you shouldn't need but every couple years I'd guess) is a low profile wrench to get the plug out. Theres no reason the PS lines should be an issue with a standard wrench, but if you want a wrench to squeeze between the plug and lines, I'll knock one out real quick.
