Hi All, I'm building my first Caterham, 420R SV, and I'm having an issue with the oil tank to sump CAT39C059 hose. I've tried it each way round and both inboard and outboard of the strut. I've also tried to position it every way I can. I've attached a photos of the best I can get it and in the recommended orientation. It is still pinched. I've been back and forward with Caterham Build Support, the hose is not short compared to others in stock and they are saying to leave it to the Post Build Check, however that seems too far down the line and I don't want to do engine start with the pinched hose and equally don't want to miss out on first engine start. Hoping someone has had this issue before and solved or have suggestions and can help me. Thanks in advance, Graeme.

Thanks David, appreciate the quick reply and offer of help. I do tend to overthink things at the best of time and will try not to abuse your offer of help

I might be over thinking this. Apologies, I'm very new to all this. I've just about got my garage ready for my first kit arriving next week and was loading (playing with) the grease gun when I realised I didn't have a bin and then wondered if I need a special bin for oily rags given the fire hazard etc. Not sure how overstated the risk of combustion is by H&S sites etc or how much I will actually have during build and then maintenance. Is a simple small metal bin enough, does it need to have a sealable metal lid? I've seen (unreasonably expensive) bins for oily rags and they have a sticker on the front saying to empty nightly, which raises questions about what makes them special and where do I empty it to / otherwise dispose of it? ( given I've only got the standard plastic residential council bins ) Also emptying into another bin, does that not just move the problem rather than mitigate the risk? Appreciate any guidance on this, Thanks
