answer: I had to position mine at about 45 degrees facing foreward to
get the
clearance. This will not effect the filter's performance with
the oil flow.

answer: I had no problems with the brake line. Possible placement from
DPO?

answer: See above.

answer: If you position the filter forward at an angle, this won't be a
problem. Not sure how much heat is actually dispersed here?

answer: There should be two holes in the fire wall above the ledge
where the wiper
motor sits (year of TR6?). These are the the holes which your speedo
cable
(right one) and tach cable (left one) go. The oil preasure line runs
through
the hole below the battery shelf and comes out slightly below and to
the
driver's side of the blower fan.
