Default oil lines hitting crossmember t25

i have a t25 with a hf manny adapter plate and tunertoys oil line kit. i have my whole kit on and the last thing to do is put the return line on. but the brass barbed fitting is like less than a inch away from the crossmember and the line wont go on. i already beat the ---- out of the cross member bc the turbo was hitting i dont think it will go down any farther.


any idea's. the only thing i could think of was getting a hole saw and making a passage.

well it must be for you then because if he is that low that it hits the x-member then its going to be too low in the pan to drain

haha ill check into the angled fitting. but i was impressed on some of the things i have done so far in this build. i figured i would use alot of pie cuts and crazy ghettoness. but after reading every post on this board night after night for about a year i feel pretty confident.
