Hi all mocking up everything of my mini. Wanted to keep everything analogue and period ish so have a t2 on an old mirage manifold with metro carb and dizzy and an intercooler out of an old van. All looking passable with the exception of the oil return. It is essentially level with the fuel pump hole how have people gotten around this? Metro stuff I think would end up running uphill.
Interested to see/ hear what other people have done please.

There shouldn’t be any problem using the fuel pump hole with a T2 on a Mirage manifold, it was designed to use the pump hole for the return.
Are you sure it’s a mirage one & not a copy?
If you need to you can tap the gearbox casing and use an -AN fitting.

Coincidently I have 2 and they both look the same but may try the other one also. It just looks a fraction too low when bolted up. Would rather not take the engine out of the car so fuel pump hole is my only option really

Thank you for that. That looks ideal maybe I just need to buy the bits and have a Go. Just didn’t seem to line up as I would have liked. Manifold is deffo the same as yours.
Jealous of your exhaust elbow too. I am going to mate the r5 turbo elbow to a t3 mini down pipe with the knuckle it’s not too far off but needs some work
