I've verified that the filter base bolt in the drawing posted is **** near identical to the one sold with the current aluminum kits.
Those are uncommon thread sizes and I haven't found them on online like on McMaster's website but I will call them tomorrow.
Finding these available commercially...
So that bolt in the bottom half of the drawing holds down the stamped piece that is shown on the top of the drawing on to the motor's filter base, correct?
Is just Permetex or gasket maker used between the sheet metal part and the motor's filter base?
So we could come up with a screw on adapter that has lines to a remote filter, with the filters positioned opening-up, so they retain oil.
If anyone can point me in the direction of a universal remote mount and hose kit I can draw up the adapters to make that happen.
If we don't have anything documented by the time I do my spring oil change then I will gladly bust out the thread gauges and calipers to record some dimensions.
Ok, let's get serious.
I'm not sure how the sealing surfaces are designed on the OE filter or the adapters until I get a chance to do...
Here is a GREAT but brief lecture on the idea of open source information, this one focusing on the equipment that is key to the modern civilization.

I was also hoping someone would publish drawings for these adapter bases. I have the means to manufacture them but like others, I have better things to do than go out and measure everything.
It's like the AR-15 part drawings that are online. No reason we can't do the same with deuce parts...
