I've used high temp silicone hose from the local auto parts stores for all my oil returns.  Never had a problem...  Just look in the Gates book at the counter.  If you don't like the look of hose clamps Gates also makes heat shrink hose clamps too...

I also stretch throttle return springs and stuff them in the hose to keep it from kinking.  Just make sure to bend the ends of the spring in to prevent them from poking through the hose.

but go to a real hose shop and get something rated for gas/oil use. You will thank yourself later on.

I can vouch for that. ONLY use the hi-temp coolant hose if it says fuel/oil on it. Some places may use oil-rated lines for their better hi-temp coolant hose, but many DO NOT. I used cheap shit on my recirculated PS lines, and the cheap hose ballooned out and leaked through it's WALLS after 2 months. Made a mess, and even worse to remove it. It felt like trying to pull the tampon out of hotrex's mom, all slimey and shit.


My suggestion is to do the hose/spring thing, but to also re-weld a barbed steel nipple on the pan at a 45*, as well as weld a barbed nipple onto the oil drain. A chunk of 1/4" thick steel sanded flat with 3 holes is a perfect start...

Using bent hardline is another option if you are afraid of the hose.
