Today I put in the oil filter relocator. I read online that some folks have put on a short oil filter and not used the relocator. I decided against that for two reasons, one you are pushing oil through a smaller filter, but more importantly, two, if you aren't using shims on the engine mounts then even the short filter can be difficult to change out with regards to clearance issues. I thought I would rather do a little work now and make the future oil changes easy. Unfortunately the rounded crossed tubes where you are supposed to mount the oil filter relocator don't offer a nice place to drill and mount the three holes. So I used some scrap aluminum and made a brackets which I riveted to the cross members. Than I bolted the relocator on the bracket. I think it came out nice. We will see when the engine goes in....
