Title: DDS Remote Oil Filter Bracket Post by: Deanodynosaurs on December 02, 2014, 18:35:27 pm Managed to bag myself a DDS remote oil filter bracket the other day. Really pleased as i'd never seen one of these before. :)
I've already got a modern remote filter bracket under the rear wing of my car (hanging off the bumper bracket). Has anyone got any advice as to how to fit the DDS one under the car? i.e. where to hang it from?, and how as there's no mounting tabs? Pictures would be great. :) Cheers, Dude 8) (http://i89.photobucket.com/albums/k228/deanodynosaurs/Misc/DDSRemoteFilterAdapter01_zps8a615ca5.jpg) (http://s89.photobucket.com/user/deanodynosaurs/media/Misc/DDSRemoteFilterAdapter01_zps8a615ca5.jpg.html) (http://i89.photobucket.com/albums/k228/deanodynosaurs/Misc/DDSRemoteFilterAdapter03_zps2f40d8a7.jpg) (http://s89.photobucket.com/user/deanodynosaurs/media/Misc/DDSRemoteFilterAdapter03_zps2f40d8a7.jpg.html) Title: Re: DDS Remote Oil Filter Bracket Post by: Mabbo on December 03, 2014, 11:38:23 am Love that dude

Title: Re: DDS Remote Oil Filter Bracket Post by: Deanodynosaurs on December 03, 2014, 12:05:21 pm I was thinking about that. The nuts and any bracket would need dowty seals in between them, as bolt is hollow and used as one of the take offs (See picture)
The actual hole in the bolt also seems pretty small, so i'm thinking this may restrict oil flow through the system. (http://i.ebayimg.com/00/s/NDgwWDY0MA==/z/mJQAAOSw-jhUId34/$_12.JPG) Title: Re: DDS Remote Oil Filter Bracket Post by: HFJ on December 03, 2014, 12:12:39 pm Here

Hi Mate, I think it actually might clear it. The bigger issue is that as it plugs straight into the block, thus i cant run it in conjunction with the thermostat and external fan and cooler. Might just stick with the set up i got for now.

Title: Re: DDS Remote Oil Filter Bracket Post by: stretch on December 03, 2014, 16:37:19 pm Maybe you should build another engine for the car dude (or the other 59 ;) ) from all of the old school parts you've got. Think either 1679cc (machine in b&P not slip in jobbies) or 1835cc, DDS manifolds, DCN's, DDS dry sump system, DDS linkage, santana pulley, etc, etc........ Now that would be a cool little power plant. :)
