Here are a couple of pics with the regulator, to give people an idea of the final product.
The regulator can be mounted in either direction, depending on fitment and requirements.
The fitting at the end of the braided hose goes into the oil filter housing.

just using my imagination. obviously you cant drive the bolt from the bottom. you might be able to install the bolts from the sides of the pan with some long reach precision rachet?

I made a pan with much less space between the extended part and the bolts (it rubs on the AC bracket) and it bolts up just fine with some careful work. So, this looks ok to me..

This is the one you want for all activity short of legitimately needing a dry sump @RSMike

If you knew what I went though when I made my pan you would understand why I got a chuckle out of this comment.
