Soliciting advice for an oil filter adapter.  In my final (a relative term) stages of building and presently working

on firewall fwd.  Current setup: L-360, large tail, IO-360 (angled).  I did purchase B&C's 90 degree spin-on oil filter adapter (11:30 position type) only to find out that a standard filter is about 1.5" too tall to fit under the cowl. 

B&C does offer a shorter, squat-type filter (Hastings?), but methinks I should go a different route.

Two other choices come to mind: the Lycoming straight back-type adapter or the Airwolf remote system.

Dan,

 

Sounds like you are also continuing with the non-long engine mount (i.e. the original "short").  One solution is to go with the long engine mount allowing the use of the regular oil filter adapter.

 

Personally, I use the remote mount adapter that allowed me to position the filter for almost dripless maintenance changes.  The drawback is another pair of teflon SS-braid fire-shielded oil hoses clogging up the minimal space between the firewall and the engine (I continue to suffer with short things - tail and mount).
