    Default Oil filter adaptor - side outlet

    Does anyone know where to get a remote oil filter adaptor which has the outlets on the side, and is a maximum of 40mm. Motorsport connection in Sydney have one but they said its 48mm.

    here's the photo of what i'm working with

    Cheers

    I'd be slightly dubious about these in hindsight though as it appears I have annoying weepnig leaks after fitment and even after removing and reinstalling....

    They are quite small as you can see from the pics, you can get them from most speed shops.

    that looks the goods. thanks mate

    other option was to get a sandwich plate and get a block plate made up to close it up but seems like i can get the blocking plate from perma-cool too.

    Cheers

    EDIT: only problem i see now is that i can't determine the actual orientation of the outlets which may work against me. I'm also unable to screw that whole adapter on as the sump design is quite tight.

    Plan C - trim that sway bar mount back and ask Adam very nicely to weld you up a new mount with more clearance. That's the Croydon solution. Would probably be frowned upon by an engineer though.
