I read and understand your post. The angle of the picture is a bit misleading. There is way more line sticking out than what is needed. I'm using a champion radiator and the fitting is about centered with the crank. So it will have to be cut or have 12-16 inches of line extra to manipulate.
I've sent an email to the manufacturer to see if there is anything they can or will do. Seems like summit only has a 90 day policy which I'm past.
