Afternoon folks, is anyone using a remote oil filter? If so any recommendations on which to use and do you have any pictures of the installation please?
Thanks

All the wedges have them.. but they also have an oil cooler.

Why do you want one is probably the question to ask.

The oil cooler limits the space for the oil filter so I need to move it or use a shorter oil filter which isn’t ideal.

So still the question..why do you need an oil cooler?

If the answer is track use then then OK agreed you will want a remote filter and a sandwich plate.
Think Automotive should have all you need. Also for hoses and fittings search 'Torques' on EBay then 'visit shop'. Very good prices and very very good quality.

Is the car turbocharged, Mick? Sorry, I cannot remember.
I have my oil cooler in a completely different place now, thanks to Mat Smith.
You are welcome to come and have a look and see if it would resolve your problem.
As to oil filter, I don't know if mine is standard or short. Hopefully you would know?
Do you know the filter length? I could check it if you do

Hi Anthony, hope your well mate and looking after my 12” adjustable.
Yes it is/ was turbo charged and had an oil cooler. But today I’ve removed both. So this thread is no longer any use. I’ve put the turbo kit up for sale and I’m doing something else. Thanks for the reply.

Sorry, Mick, I didn't even remember I had got your adjustable.
I would have returned it if i had.
I will dig it out and message you for your address.
