also many have like threaded outlets on them, would a normal piece of hydrolic pipe jubileed on work, or is there substansial pressure that would blow it off?

@ people saying its not that much pressure!

I regularly see over 6bar (90psi) of oil pressure, which is quite alot when you consider the turbo only pushes about 1.2bar of air pressure, and that has been known to pop the odd hose before now


As for the original question, get yourself an oil filter re-location kit tom, then the sandwhich plate can replace the filter

plus it will make your life a whole load easier in the long run!!

Mine sits just behind my headlight and I can change the oil filter in about 20secs!
