OK , I'll try again with drawings.  I can't figure out how oil would be forced thru the filter when all the ports are connected.  why would oil pass thru the filter when it can simply go around?  the guy that sold these, I forget who it was off hand, assured me that it was correct.

Kevin,
It looks to me to be the correct part.  The oil filter goes in the line going to the fitting.  A separate remote filter adapter, another item altogether, is required, to mount the filter.  The two holes that are connected together, one goes to, in the stock setup, an unfiltered oil to a relief valve that would prevent the stock filter from rupturing if it got clogged and the other goes to the oil galley.  With the remote filter in the inlet line, both holes receive filtered oil, no problem connecting them together.  I THINK!  It's that way on my 20B.

Subject: [FlyRotary] remote oil adapter

I bought this remote oil filter adapter from someone on this list.  I am about to mount it and I'll be damned if I can figure out how this is the same configuration.  all 5 holes on the adapter are common to one another inside, whereas on the original bracket the oil has to pass thru the oil filter membrane in order to reach the other outlet.  it seems to me that with this adapter the oil can easily bypass any filter.  what point am I missing?  which holes go to the remote filter?  which way does the oil pass thru this bracket?  is all the oil filtered all the time?  if not, what are the two circuits?
