Default Oil filter relocation

Has any done a filter relocation, if so, where did you get the kit from?

Im about to fit an oil cooler but am tight on room to get a filter and sandwich plate in the stock location.

Any info would be great help

Assuming they're still going, Think Automotive in Isleworth could be worth a look...

Yeah think are still going, use them quite often.

I have a remote filter housing, thats not the issue, the issue is blanking the original filter housing..

Il talk to think...

How are you feeding the remote filter housing at the moment? I've seen takeoff plates that fit where the original filter would sit and they direct the oil to the remote filler.

Take off plates are just like fitting an oil filter, but with inlet/outlet pipes iirc?

Could have a look on Demon Tweeks / Burtons websites for a bit of research, then, once you been there, you can get one cheaper / correct part 1st time from Think Automotive, or possibly Rally Design could be worth a go... Or, google Aeroquip and see what comes up.

There's also RealSteel in Yiewsley, that do American car parts, they'll probably be worth an ask... They might need thread sizes though.
