I need to know what "sandwich adapter" to purchase.
I have one, and the key parameters are: thread that goes "onto" the stock filter bracket (adapter that filter threads onto) size of fittings that go out to remote oil filter I eyeballed the fittings that come from a sandwich adapter that I already have and it "looked like" 1/2" NPT, but the threads into the fitting are smaller. I want to route from the sandwich adapter to 12AN to run to the front coolers for now. Anyone have experience with high flow sandwich adapters? It looks like I have enough meat to tap the sandwich adapter that I have up to 1/2" NPT but curious what others have done. Next upgrade is blockoff plates and the full monty, but right now I would just like to hook 12AN fittings to a sandwich plate and run the stock filter adapter with filter. I might even be interested in the thermostatically controlled adapter plates if anyone has experience. Edit- And while I am at it: does the feed to the oil pump come into the middle of the oil filter? |

So now I have determined that I cannot thread two 3/8"-1/2" adapters into the sandwich adapter, THEN thread in two 12AN-1/2" adapters.
There is not enough clearance. Does anyone know of a 'Type-IV Filter adapter block-off plate" that would allow me to thread in either 1/2" NPT or 3/8"NPT? I know I can go to the "full flow" pump covers, but was hoping to put that off till next year. I also know about the oil cooler block off plates, but ai was hoping to keep the stock cooler in addition to my external coolers at first. |
