I know this was brought up waaaay back but lost the damn link and won't pop up in the search. There was someone who posted their setup for a oil filter relocator kit which had Earl's sandwich seciton and the relocation section using an-6 hose w/ fittings to move their oil filter to a more desirable location. I'm basically looking for which model number for the sandwich and relocator they were using, the rest I can figure out.

thanks

Here are the part numbers I used. Both are perma-cool #'s, bought through http://www.racerpartswholesale.com

PER-1791 - filter mount, ports right and leftPER-111 - spin on adapter

These are the #'s for an SR, i'm not sure of the KA thread is different, but either way, perma-cool makes different part #'s for different filter thread patterns.

Both of those are 3/4" - 16 threads, and have 1/2" NPT ports. I'm using 1/2" NPT to AN-10 adapters made by aeroquip to connect them up to my presslock lines (since I don't like using braided stainless).

Excellent. In that case the part #'s above should work for everyone :)

EDIT: i just double-checked, here's the thread types for each engine

KA/S13 SR/RB - 3/4"-16S14SR/S15SR - 20mm thread

here's a great thread over on FA with tons of info:http://forums.freshalloy.com/u...47311

Hmm I wonder if I'd be able to use the KA's oil filter with the SR with the kit listed above. Any ideas?
