Bri-Tie install - oil pipe run

Well I've put the Bri-Tie in the best I could (B40f).  Avoids touching case and swing arm hinge.....just. Only a couple of mm clearance.

End up with limited free pipe between the spigots to allow turns. The lower turn is quite tight, circa 120 degrees and I can see a slight crease/flattening at the point it leaves the spigot. So the pipe bore will be a bit less....but still open.

Any views on if run is dodgy? pictures attached.

Having stared at the run, I can't see that extending the pipe sections helps. It'd make the lower turn tighter. Only thing that would seem to help would be a replacement for the lower Bri-Tie spigot that had a circa 120 degree elbow.....but I've not found one search so far....and I presume it'd need to come with a matching nut ( 1/4" BSP I think)

I'm guessing with only 2mm-ish clearance to the case and swing arm, that it may rattle .....so perhaps I'll tape some inner tube rubber around those bits.

advice welcome.

( just checked previous advice on this forum and I see Greenfield's B40 pipe runs would appear to have a slightly tighter turn. So looks like I should be ok)
