    Looking for advise if possible.

    Put the 1.8t lump in the corrado at the weekend. Everything was going swimmingly until we went to fit the rear mount and established it fouled the oil return pipe.

    We managed to get it knocked and tucked behind the mount but I am not overly confident.

    Is there anywhere I can purchase a premade braided pipe and run it around or any other options at all?

    Thanks very much for your help

    Hi mate. Bit of a late reply on this but there are a few variants of the oil return hose. It sounds like you’ve got 06A145735J which has a longer rigid pipe at the sump end making it sit right where that bracket needs to go. If you can source a 06A145735p, it is shorter at the sump end and will sit just to the left of that bracket and give all the clearance you need. Chris.
