Here's my engine mount.

I've certainly seen better ones but in the end, it has to be designed with the drain line in mind.

As you may notice, I ended up using a banjo fitting and routing it back the other way. I simply didn't trust the pipe I had fabbed up (EDIT) besides, it hit the mount  ;D. The banjo fitting was a real pain and I had to modify it a bit on the lathe - made it thinner.

Even then, the only way to tighten it is with a punch and hammer ;D. Again, there are better ways to do this as libbydiesel can point out. Actually, I think Andrews copper line would work as long as it was short - just long enough to slide a hose over it and install a clamp.
Here's a clear shot of the modified #8 banjo fitting. I tig welded the steel hydraulic line which came off an old backhoe. So all you need is an old backhoe.
