Oil Filter

It warmed up to 40 today so a trip to the hangar was in order. We began installing the Airwolf remote oil filter today. All went well except for the last oil line fitting. I need to change one of the fittings to make it work

There’s a doubler on the inside of the firewall you don’t see. The last fitting needs to be different, so I need to order one.
