Ha ha--I can see it now; long hair flapping in the breeze as Chrisx tries to wheel an engine on a rickety stand across four lanes of Greenwood Ave rush hour traffic ;-) You like the red? That's Ford red, from Schmuck's. I couldn't believe they don't stock any Saab block paint, what with all the Seattle Saabers doing rebuilds these days (I saw Dennis' poor dead '89 the weekend he brought it in).
Yeah, I know, the oil filler solution ain't pretty and it ain't perfect. I tried to cut it down as short as possible -- it was ~6-7" when I grabbed it from a donor. Reason I put it so near the turbo was for clearance at the hood. Having bolts on the inside of the cover makes me nervous, even with Loctite. Some time, I would be psyched to meet up with you and figure out a better way. If I could weld aluminum, I'd just weld up the oil cap portion of an old 8-valve cover I have kicking around.
Speaking of welding, I just read an article on TIG--think it might be a better way to go than MIG. We'll see; reality is it'll be some time before I buy anything. But, damn, once you get the hang of the MIG, it is *cool*. :-)
BTW, did you find a better rat trap??
