Well, I bought a classic RT and a warp feed. Problem is, the RT is PF left. And I don't want to cut the feedneck down, and I don't want a huge profile warp hose. So I've decided to run the hose under the gun, in front of the trigger frame, and into the bottom of the PF from the right side. I'm right-handed, so I want the warp on the left side.
Anyway, I made a custom mounting bracket (was a PITA w/ hacksaw, dremel, grinding bit on elec. drill, & a file) that brings the warp output hole much closer in to the centerline of the gun. But the hose still needs to bend quite a bit (idk how much is too much for a warp hose, i've never ran my warp (shot motor)). And it can't get in the way of my trigger. I have a double trigger CF frame, and if I don't give the hose a good twist, it gets in the way of my trigger. I'm pretty sure I will need to buy or cook up some sort of 45* adapter for the warp output. I think with Luke's 45* warp thingy, I'll still need to use the warp to hose adapter on top of it, and that would just be weird, so I'm not sure about that. I might just buy Luke's for the part that goes into the warp and the 45* bend, cut off the top part of it, and epoxy the top part of the hose adapter to it. Or I could try to make my own by cutting my warp to hose adapter in half and making my own 45* bend somehow, in which case I would need you guys' advice. Oh, and I'm thinking of running a horizontal 90* hose adapter at the bottom of the powerfeed. I think it would help the hose clear the trigger. And do you think to keep the hose twisted, I would need to make some kind of lock? I mean, do you think the hose would untwist itself? If so, maybe I'll need some sort of z-lock type thing?
To sum up my problem, I need a way to attach the hose to the warp, at the bottom, and to the powerfeed, at the top. Here are some pictures to speak 1000 words for me (I really am horrible with words):
And I've decided not to casually pretend this isn't the most awesome 3D pic I've ever taken!!!!!!
*cross your eyes until the two images merge*

This shows the twist I think I'll have to implement. What it doesn't show is my idea to run the hose into a horizontal 90* warp elbow into the powerfeed. I think this would not only lower profile but also keep the hose away from the trigger.

Here are a couple more angles so you get a good sense of the dimensions of everything.
So do you guys have any ideas?
