i recommend NOT going with the aeroquip socketless hardware and hoses I used

Oooohhh... I saw that when you first posted it up Bob.

And yeah.. while I love your install, I'm too utilitarian to spend that kind of $$$ on the fittings you used!


Thanks for the write-up!

Shane

Thanks for the heads-up, but I was planning on using stainless braid hoses anyways.

Shane

Sounds like we should bang our heads together on this one and see what we come up with.

midiwall

(ow!) (ow!) (ow!)


I'm pretty open int he evenings these days... Should we get the parts first (at least the adapter plate) and then have a meeting of the minds?

Oh yeah those things are awesome! When I first started work everyone had one and i went and bought myself one the very same day, It works really well on anything except the older Cavilers.

midiwall

Just to complete a thought...

Shane and I are continuing this babble offline.


It looks like we'll be buying the block adapter and remote mount plates as stand-alones and then getting our own hoses and fittings locally.

The one cool thing about this is that along with the standard "top inlet" style, Permacool makes remote mounts that have the inlets facing to the right or left. That should avoid having to use 90* fittings on the remote mount.


We'll post more specifcs as we start aquiring pieces.

Hi folks, I'm new to the site. This forum is a big help!

I'm on my 3rd toy truck in 15 years, and it seems that they make it harder to change the oil with each generation of truck Today, I bought the Sears gripper tool and, with some work, ripped the factory tightened filter out. I don't think I would have been able to do it without the advice of you guys' posts.


At my next change, I might go for an oil filter relocation set-up. What are the disadvantages of relocating the filter, if any?
peace...

midiwall

The only thing that I can think of is since there are more external connections, there's more potential for leaks. But that's really not an issue.

Shane

Naa, your engine will be just fine if a hose pops off and you lose all your oil.




Hence my reason for using crimped & steel braided hoses versus the rubber push-on variety.

midiwall

Oh now Dad, that's not what I meant!

I mean that I've never heard of anyone having an issue with these lines "popping" off... A proper sized line on those barbs won't just come off like a vacuum hose.

But even so, the potential for a non-secured hose coming off isn't the fault of the relocation itself. And yes, of course a crimped line would be certainly be more secure.
