Hi Paul,

        I am interested in the remote pump but I am not sure on the
plumbing.  Could someone share the advantages and disadvantages  of the
various fittings AN, Wiggins, hose, NPT fittings? Maybe some pics?   How
will the pump connect to the hole left when the pump is relocated?  That
looks like a casting solution also.  From the discussion it looks like Dick
Gregory is doing the same thing I am.  The CR radiator looks promising.  I
am concerned about the clearance between the pan and the rad.  Want to
leave enough space to let the air out but not make an inefficient lower
cowl.  The mount is at the welders and I will be adding the braces from the
spar to the outboard vibe isolators. Thanks

Good questions. You will have to fabricate a fitting. Mostly a flat
plate with two holes and two pipes welded on. 
AN line is hard to get in anything over an inch ID. Marginally inadequate IMHO. 
Hose is less reliable than either AN or wiggins. Wiggins requires high 
fabrication skills as aluminum tubes must be bent and tig welded together. 
If enough people are interested in wiggins I will have a bunch of bends made.
