Remote oil filter and oil cooler job completed.

[th62]

The fittings I ordered to complete the oil filter/cooler job arrived today, so I finally connected everything. Looks ok, but a bit of a jumble of hoses. Turned into a rather big job this. Had to make some new engine mounts with room for the filter housing. Machined up the filter housing and threaded stainless parts for plumbing. Machined up a cover to replace the original filter housing cover. Fabricated a bracket to bolt to the engine mounts for the cooler. Drilled and tapped the the engine side cover. Then polished everything - Big job. These AN fittings are very expensive, $50 for two. I ordered them on Aliexpress first for half that, but the seller cancelled the order for some reason and now I'm having trouble getting a dam refund.

I usually get the fittings and hose from Jeg's. Their house brand is pricing is much better than ones like Earle's.
