any experienc with this? Oil filter adapter

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Oil-F...spagenameZWDVW


let me know what you guys think. thought it might be a good way to get oil pressure and temp readings without tapping.
Seems simple enough...any personal experiences or reviews on them?

Steve,

It looks pretty spendy for what it really is. I think a better choice would be to get a complete oil filter relocation kit. That way you can get the filter away from the hot engine and even use a 2qt filter (they even make one that accepts 2 filters, so you could have 4 qt filtering)

The adapters are already tapped for the oil lines, so adding a guage would only require installing a tee fitting.

I've used the kit on most of my cars to increase their oil capacity and to act as a cooler.

You can usually pick up a similar kit at most auto part stores. I'm in BC for a few days and will look so I don't eat my words

But where do you mount it? I don't like the behind the front bumper idea and no room elsewhere. I have one and due to space I am thinking about a sandwich style instead.

Perhaps next to the frame rail on the ds. There is a lot of room. You can easily get a piece of large angle iron and use it for a guard.
