Title: Oil Fliter mounting Post by: Chris W on December 20, 2008, 21:03:23 pm Just wondering where everyone is mounting their oil filters. With the current set up just hits the body . Thinking of moving it to the bumper brackets or ....
Thanks for the input. (http://lh5.ggpht.com/_WfCoy6mmPwA/SUHr3Lz_6CI/AAAAAAAAE3k/3IivsWREgpA/s800/IMG_0104.JPG) Title: Re: Oil Fliter mounting Post by: Harry/FDK on December 20, 2008, 21:11:26 pm Traction Bar ?

Title: Re: Oil Fliter mounting Post by: Hotrodvw on December 21, 2008, 03:17:31 am Guys....watch those block style 90deg fittings....they're tough on the oil flow. Bent tube 90's are ideal. ;)
Title: Re: Oil Fliter mounting Post by: Rennsurfer on December 21, 2008, 19:38:23 pm Good point regarding the 90º fitting and flow.
Chris, your engine looks AWESOME! Good job. (http://lh5.ggpht.com/_WfCoy6mmPwA/SUHr3Lz_6CI/AAAAAAAAE3k/3IivsWREgpA/s800/IMG_0104.JPG) Personally, I've always preferred the oil filter to be in the vertical position for servicing ease. Hope that you find a suitable location that works well for you. Title: Re: Oil Fliter mounting Post by: Mohawk on December 22, 2008, 00:48:56 am (http://i41.tinypic.com/5p380z.jpg)
I use JayCee billet oil filter mont. I use the mounting holes for the bumper. That have worked perfect for me all years and it's easy to get the filter lose if you have to change it or clean it.

Are those BSPP hose fittings and adapter for your filter plumbing???? :o Only in Europe. ;) Title: Re: Oil Fliter mounting Post by: Mohawk on December 22, 2008, 11:16:59 am What's wrong with them ??? No leaks, most safe stuff you can use and safe for heat so I can't see anything wrong with them, And no they are not for plumbing they are hydraulics :P
Title: Re: Oil Fliter mounting Post by: Hotrodvw on December 22, 2008, 15:57:22 pm No, nothing wrong with them at all.... ;)
It's just not something us Americans see very often. I'm amazazed I could point it out correctly! ;D Title: Re: Oil Fliter mounting Post by: jimi323 on December 22, 2008, 16:52:08 pm Traction Bar ? excuse me for the OT but have you mounted the traction bar to the bumpers holes? i think to use a ball joint between the center of the traction bar and the center of the carter... ??? Title: Re: Oil Fliter mounting Post by: Chris W on December 23, 2008, 19:01:43 pm Thanks for all the ideas!
I am not running a traction bar yet...so I think I will give the bumper brackets a try. |
