Re: Engine Oil Adapter, Remote Oil Filter / Cooler

I Googled Maxspeed Motorsport and they had one on auction for $69. It only had one hour left on it when I asked my question. I already have the mocal remote filter adapter mounted on the side wall of the engine bay and a thermostat/bypass mounted between the filter and the cooler. Then there is the Accusump which is T'd off the return line with it's one way valve tied in to prevent pack flow. The filter mounting has two extra 1/2" ports which are available. They require several pieces to put the small tubing of the oil pressure line. the other one would have to have a T so that the temp adapter(1/2") can occupy one side and then adapters to fit the fuel pump cutoff and the warning lite. So you can see how this adds up. Will consider tapping the sandwich adapter for the pressure and the fuel pump cutoff, leaving the two 1/2s for the temp gauge and over temp lite.
I had considered tapping into the sandwich adapter earlier due to the erector set that would be required for the other pieces. Just wasn't sure that was the way to go. Looks like that is the way to go now. Cost would be about the same.
