I tried to go the route with studs on the turbo oil drain but I had interference with the Turbo (Craig TE-60) on one of the mounting bolts (actually, an Allen Screw) that attaches the waste gate controller to the turbo. I even cut down the stud for the oil drain as short as possible but the problem was that the fitting for the oil drain line would still NOT clear between the stud and the mounting bolt on the turbo.
I even tried removing the nut and then the set screw type of stud that is part of the actuator mounting but when I tried to screw out the stud on the turbo, it broke my allen wrench!
So, I went to a stud on the rear fitting and used a bolt on the front. It's in and all tightened up but I'm just wondering if anyone else ran into this and if so, what did you do?

I remember vaguely coming close on my 44 but was able to clear with no problem. Perhaps the 60s setup is just a little different causing your problem. Even with one stud to place your oil return line in place, makes it easier to attach the bolt. When you have to hold the line in place and try to start the bolt, it's a little tough.
