John,
Not quite sure what you're referring to here.  I fabricated an adapter
to replace the old filter mount, and then used an aftermarket remote
filter adapter.  It uses a PH-8A type filter.  I was able to hang it to
the bottom on the plugs side of the engine off the pan bolts.  That way
I don't spill oil on everything when changing the oil/filter.  The oil
flow is from the front cover outlet into the filter, out of the filter
into the oil cooler, out of the cooler and into the adapter block.   The oil filter adapter block is a good place to put a temperature sensor
as it gets exposed to a good flow of oil.  Be sure that there is a clear
passage between the two holes.  One hole goes to the oil bypass, the
other feeds the bearings.  Oil needs to get to both.  Mark S.

Who in the group is working on the inverted oil filter mount.  I forgot
to
make a note of it and it looks like I'll be needing one to eliminate one
more wart on the cowling.  JohnD
