Doug,
Just a note to add to what Lynn has said.............The plug for the oil galley inlet next
to your mount can also be plugged with the proper size oil pan plug from most auto
parts stores (Autozone usually has a large selection behind the counter)..........If my
memory is correct (It is always suspect) it is a 18 or 20mm x 1.5..........Bring the Mazda
banjo bolt with you to compare................

I have been mulling over options for a few years now but it is getting closer to the time to start coming up with a strategy to deal with the clearance issue on the right front side of my Conversion Concepts 13B mount. As is came, there is a clearance issue due to oil out (?) fitting; so I'm wondering what some of you who have "gone before" did to address this issue.
Thanks for any ideas.

Piece of cake.
Remove the hydraulic fitting. Plug the hole.
Make up an aluminum block that replicates the bottom of the stock filter stand.
The outer of the two galleries under that stand is the other end of the same gallery that
your hydraulic fitting is screwed into now. So you just put the oil into the upper end of the same gallery.
The stock oil pressure relief valve will work as before and the oil pressure sender port will work as before.
The stock banjo fitting is not normally used because it is a flow disaster and it is heavy. Those hoses are what I use on my race car. Very light but easy to damage.
You can make the plug from the original banjo fitting. A fitting end for it you might say.
I have pictures if you need them.
